The difference between yours and mine are the 一般永住者 and 特別永住者.
Do you know what the 特別永住者 is?

Yes, I do.
I think that there is more difference than that though. Visas are not issued every single year for a lot of people. 3 year visas are also very common, and for students there are a lot of 2 years. So just looking at the visas issued in one year isn`t going to show you all the people who had the visa issued the year before or 2 years ago. To see those people, you have to look at how many people are
registered.
My visa was renewed last in 2007. So even though I live in Japan, I would not be included in the list you posted.
