The West Yorkshire Built-up Area, previously known as the West Yorkshire Urban Area, is a term used by the
Urban subdivisions
The ONS gives the conurbation a population of 1,777,934 (2011 census),[1] which makes it the fourth-most populous in the UK. The ONS partitions the area down into 39 sub-divisions:[1]
Three further subdivisions are given[2] with no population numbers as they are present or former industrial areas with no resident population.
Rawdon is the subdivision name for Horsforth Vale, on which a former industrial plant was redeveloped for housing from 2010, too late to be recorded for the 2011 census.
- Brookfoot Quarry (Marshalls Southowram)
- Esholt Water Treatment plant, named 'Works, nr Bradford' by the ONS
- Rawdon
Note that the areas below do not have exactly the same borders in each census, so the numbers are not always comparable (e.g. what was classified as Lofthouse/Stanley in 2001 was classified as part of Wakefield in 2011).
