Almost 90 per cent of people in Britain live in urban areas and just over half the population are resident in 66 urban areas with populations of 100,000 or more. These and a wide range of key results from the 1991 Census have been published for all urban areas in Great Britain, updating information that was prepared for the first time after the 1981 Census. This article summarises the socio-demographic characteristics and distributions of urban and rural populations in Great Britain and describes how the distribution of urban population has changed in the decade 1981-91.
