The data file contains estimates for each local authority of their total population, their population living in a settlement with more than 10,000 residents, and assigns them an rural-urban classification.
It also includes the indicative housing need for each local authority under the new and old standard methods, as calculated by MHCLG, Indicative local housing need (December 2024 – new standard method).
Please get in touch with us at papers@parliament.uk if you would like to access the data in a different format.
