Urban Status

Urban status is derived by assigning Data Zones as either urban or non-urban. Data Zones with 90% or more of their usual resident population inside the boundary of an urban settlement (i.e. those settlements with population 5,000+ usual residents) are classed as urban. All remaining Data Zones are classed as non-urban. More information on Census 2021 Data Zones is available at https://www.nisra.gov.uk/publications/census-2021-output-geography-information-papers
