Everything about The West Yorkshire Urban Area totally explained
The
West Yorkshire Urban Area is a term used by the
Office for National Statistics (ONS) to refer to a conurbation in
West Yorkshire,
England, based mainly on
Leeds,
Bradford,
Huddersfield,
Wakefield, but excluding towns such as
Castleford,
Halifax and
Pontefract which though part of the county of West Yorkshire are considered independently.
The ONS gives it a population of 1,499,465 (2001 census), which makes it the
fourth-largest conurbation in the UK. It is broken down into the following components:
These components seem to be mostly based on pre-1974 council areas. For example, Morley's population figures included residents of
West and
East Ardsley, which had been part of the Morley County Borough prior to 1974. Pairings such as Lofthouse/Outwood, Cleckheaton/Liversedge, etc. seem to be based on a common pre-1974 council. However, it seems that the boundaries were altered in some cases. Wakefield's figures may include areas such as
Crigglestone,
Durkar and
Newmillerdam, which were not part of the city prior to 1974.
Belle Isle and
Middleton were classified as suburbs of Leeds despite having been in the
Rothwell district prior to 1974.
