Bradford

Town

Town in Bradford, Yorkshire and The Humber.

Bradford is an ONS built-up area: the land built up as one town, whatever council it is in. Figures for Bradford add up the census output areas (or, for claimants, the neighbourhoods) that sit mostly inside it, so they are close to, but not exactly, the town’s own.
