A compendium of population statistics for Rural and Urban areas in England.

The May 2025 release of this report includes analysis updates for all topics within this theme. Mid-year estimates have been updated, and Census 2021 data have been added based on the new 2021 rural-urban classification.

The supplementary data tables provide additional statistics for each section of the Digest, using the rural-urban classification categories. The Local Authority data tables supply the disaggregated datasets, used to conduct analysis in the Digest, at a Local Authority level where feasible.
