List of English districts by population

This is a list of districts of England ordered by population. The populations are 2003 mid-year estimates from the Office for National Statistics, using the unrounded figures published by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in the Entitlement Notification Reports for Revenue Support Grants http://www.local.odpm.gov.uk/finance/0506/grant.htm.

Usage note: The areas listed are extremely varied in character, from distinct towns and cities, to slices of suburbia, to rural districts. This is not a list of largest cities in England. The primary usage of the word city in British English is based on urban areas, rather than local authority boundaries as is the case in American English. The inappropriateness of interpreting this as a list of largest cities is illustrated for example by the fact that London is not at the top of it, and that while one of the two candidates for the status of the UK's second city, namely Birmingham does come top, the other candidate, which is Manchester, is in sixth, as it has a more narrowly drawn local authority boundary. The reason for London not being at the top of the list is that Greater London's boroughs are listed, not Greater London or metropolitan London as a whole.
