TwitterThe lookup tables have been produced to ease the use of the 2011 Rural Urban Classification in further analyses. Each lookup table consists of a spreadsheet with the full list of areas for each geography and both of the accompanying detailed and simple 2011 Rural Urban Classification.
The Classification for small area geographies is derived from the 2011 Rural Urban Classification and is available for:
The Classification for local authority areas is derived from the 2011 Local Authority Rural Urban Classification and is available for:
The Classification for higher level geographies is also derived from the 2011 Local Authority Rural Urban Classification and is available for:
Further information on using the lookup tables can be found in the Guide to applying the rural urban classification to data.
Multiple versions of the Rural Urban Classification exist for some geographies due to boundary changes over time. Where this is the case the most recent classification is listed, while classifications using the older boundaries can be made available on request.

This zip file contains the Standard Area Measurements (SAM) for the administrative areas in the United Kingdom as at 31 December 2022. This includes the wards, local authority districts, counties and regions in England and the countries. All measurements provided are ‘flat’ as they do not take into account variations in relief e.g. mountains and valleys. Measurements are given in hectares (10,000 square metres) to 2 decimal places. Four types of measurements are included: total extent (AREAEHECT), area to mean high water (coastline) (AREACHECT), area of inland water (AREAIHECT) and area to mean high water excluding area of inland water (land area) (AREALHECT). The Eurostat-recommended approach is to use the ‘land area’ measurement to compile population density figures.Change in the ward name W05001063 Pontlliew and Tircoed should have been called Pontlliw and Tircoed and we have made that change.This is a version 2 of the data as there was an error in the calculation of the Local Authorities, Counties, Regions, and CountriesClick the Download button to download the files
