Rural Urban Classification in Surrey

This page includes a dashboard around the 2021 Rural Urban Classification alongside the data tables which have been clipped to Surrey.

As noted by the ONS:

"The 2021 Rural Urban Classification (RUC) is a statistical classification which provides a consistent and standardised method for categorising geographies as either rural or urban, based on:

• address density
• physical settlement form
• population size
• Relative access to major towns and cities (populations of over 75,000 people)."

These are largely produced for the Census geographies, so the last classification was for 2011.

The dashboard is also directly available on Tableau Public.
