Statistical Information about Greater Nottingham and Nottingham City

Which geographic area is best for me - Greater Nottingham or Nottingham City?

We always recommend using Greater Nottingham figures if you want to know about the local population that may use your business or service, or if you need to make comparisons with other cities.

Greater Nottingham comprises the City of Nottingham and the immediately surrounding districts of Broxtowe, Gedling, Rushcliffe and the Hucknall area of the district of Ashfield.  It is overwhelmingly urban.  Only 43% of its population lives within the City of Nottingham.

We only recommend using City figures if you provide a service solely within this administrative boundary and need information on your client base, for example if you work for Nottingham City Council or Nottingham Primary Care Trust.  This is because the City boundary is drawn very tightly and excludes the rest of the suburbs.

The maps below will help you to decide which area is of most relevance to you.

Services Provided by the Policy and Information Team

The information in this section of the website is provided by the City Development Department's Policy and Information Team.

The Team provides a service about a number of topics to the Council, its Partners and for general enquiries.

These topics include the 2001 Census, the local economy and labour market, levels of deprivation and population estimates.  Information on these topics can be viewed by clicking on the left-side of this page.

It is clearly not possible or desirable to put all of the information which we hold on to the website.  Further information may be available from the Team, but the extent to which we are able to help will depend upon how long it would take to provide the information and the importance of the purpose for which it is required.
