The 2021 census revealed that around 812,000 people were residing in Leeds.

But populations vary across Leeds neighbourhoods, with some housing far more of the city’s residents than others.

Official Office for National Statistics estimates for 2020, made available on Leeds Observatory, break down the population by Lower Super Output Area – a geographic area covering small clusters of streets.

These were the 11 neighbourhoods with the highest estimated populations.
