This is a list of all the settlements in [[Bedfordshire]]. Population figures are taken from the [[2001 UK census]] and [[2011 UK Census]]. Population figures are given for the civil parishes as well as urban areas. There is no data for some of the smallest civil parishes in the 2011 census. The ONS definition of an [[urban area]] is based on the continuously built-up area, and is as follows:- <blockquote>''"The definition of an urban area is an extent of at least 20 hectares and at least 1,500 residents at the time of the 2001 Census. The starting point is the identification by OS (Ordnance Survey) of areas with land use which is irreversibly urban in character. This comprises permanent structures and the land on which they are situated, including land enclosed by or closely associated with such structures; transportation corridors such as roads, railways and canals which have built up land on one or both sides, or which link built-up sites which are less than 200 metres apart; transportation features such as airports and operational airfields, railway yards, motorway service areas and car parks; mine buildings, excluding mineral workings and quarries; and any area completely surrounded by builtup sites. Areas such as playing fields and golf courses are excluded unless completely surrounded by builtup sites. The prerequisite for the recognition of an urban area is that the area of urban land should extend for 20 hectares or more. Separate areas of urban land are linked if less than 200 metres apart. Land between built-up areas is not regarded as urban unless it satisfies one of the conditions listed above."''<ref>[http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/census2001/ks_urban_north_part_1.pdf ONS definition of urban areas] {{webarchive|url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20040724074938/http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/census2001/ks_urban_north_part_1.pdf |date=2004-07-24 }}</ref></blockquote> |
|||
This is a list of all the settlements in [[Bedfordshire]]. Population figures are taken from the [[2001 UK census]]. For villages the population given is for the [[civil parish]]. Because of this the village's population may include hamlets which may or may not be considered separate settlements. As well as this some civil parishes include more than one village but they have been included together in this list because there is no reliable data for the populations of separate villages in a civil parish consisting of more than one village. Settlements which do not form part of [[Urban area]]s have had their urban area listed as rural. However some villages may be only partly in one Urban Area with the rest of it not being in any urban areas in such cases the urban area has been listed as the urban area and Rural. |
|||
According to this definition of an Urban Area, Bedfordshire contains two urban areas that have populations over 100,000. |

==List of [[Urban area]]s in Bedfordshire by Population== |
|||
The ONS definition of an [[urban area]] is based on the continuously built-up area, and is as follows:- <blockquote>''"The definition of an urban area is an extent of at least 20 hectares and at least 1,500 residents at the time of the 2001 Census. The starting point is the identification by OS (Ordnance Survey) of areas with land use which is irreversibly urban in character. This comprises permanent structures and the land on which they are situated, including land enclosed by or closely associated with such structures; transportation corridors such as roads, railways and canals which have built up land on one or both sides, or which link built-up sites which are less than 200 metres apart; transportation features such as airports and operational airfields, railway yards, motorway service areas and car parks; mine buildings, excluding mineral workings and quarries; and any area completely surrounded by builtup sites. Areas such as playing fields and golf courses are excluded unless completely surrounded by builtup sites. The prerequisite for the recognition of an urban area is that the area of urban land should extend for 20 hectares or more. Separate areas of urban land are linked if less than 200 metres apart. Land between built-up areas is not regarded as urban unless it satisfies one of the conditions listed above."''<ref>[http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/census2001/ks_urban_north_part_1.pdf ONS definition of urban areas]</ref></blockquote> |
|||
According to this definition of an Urban Area Bedfordshire contains thirty one Urban Areas, most of which have populations less than 10,000 and only two have populations over 100,000. |

Latest revision as of 01:51, 24 March 2024
This is a list of all the settlements in Bedfordshire. Population figures are taken from the 2001 UK census and 2011 UK Census. Population figures are given for the civil parishes as well as urban areas. There is no data for some of the smallest civil parishes in the 2011 census. The ONS definition of an urban area is based on the continuously built-up area, and is as follows:-
"The definition of an urban area is an extent of at least 20 hectares and at least 1,500 residents at the time of the 2001 Census. The starting point is the identification by OS (Ordnance Survey) of areas with land use which is irreversibly urban in character. This comprises permanent structures and the land on which they are situated, including land enclosed by or closely associated with such structures; transportation corridors such as roads, railways and canals which have built up land on one or both sides, or which link built-up sites which are less than 200 metres apart; transportation features such as airports and operational airfields, railway yards, motorway service areas and car parks; mine buildings, excluding mineral workings and quarries; and any area completely surrounded by builtup sites. Areas such as playing fields and golf courses are excluded unless completely surrounded by builtup sites. The prerequisite for the recognition of an urban area is that the area of urban land should extend for 20 hectares or more. Separate areas of urban land are linked if less than 200 metres apart. Land between built-up areas is not regarded as urban unless it satisfies one of the conditions listed above."[1]
According to this definition of an Urban Area, Bedfordshire contains two urban areas that have populations over 100,000.
