The Census Area Statistics for urban areas in England and Wales contains data for England and Wales, England, Wales, and urban areas and urban subdivisions in England and Wales.

A brief definition of the urban areas included in the tables is contained in this summary, and complete background information is included on the DVDs containing the results.

The Census Area Statistics tables
The Census Area Statistics (CAS) tables provide the most local detailed results from the Census, often adding more detail to that provided in Key Statistics and Standard Tables, and in particular providing information on areas not covered in Census reports.

Product notes
Table UV02, which provides figures on population density, is not included on the DVDs because these estimates are significantly affected by the use of approximation of urban areas by Output Areas.
