Description: There is an interest in population statistics for the built-up areas in Scotland as they are generally more identifiable as the traditional towns and cities of Scotland than administrative areas such as Council areas, much of which consists of land that is not built up. The National Records of Scotland (NRS) uses information about postcodes (some 140,000 in Scotland) to define 'settlements' and 'localities' as good approximations to built up areas.A settlement is defined to be a group of high density postcodes whose combined population rounds to 500 people or more. They are separated by low density postcodes.A split between settlements is defined as minimum of 1km gap between built up areas, as a result the localities ofPaisley, Renfrew, Johnstone, Elderslie, Linwood and Kilbarchan all fall within the settlement of Glasgow CityNational Records of Scotland had developed a new process to identify settlements in Scotland and the definition of a settlement was defined as:‘A collection of contiguous high density postcodes bounded by low density postcodes whose population was 500 or more.’A postcode is high density if at least one of the following applied:- It had more than 2.1 residential addresses per hectare;- It had more than 0.1 non-residential addresses per hectare; or- The estimate of the population per hectare exceeds five people.Settlement boundaries are used to create Locality Boundaries.for more information see:https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files//statistics/settlements-localities/set-loc-20/set-loc-2020-metadata.pdfhttps://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/population/population-estimates/special-area-population-estimates/settlements-and-localities/background-informationDownloaded - 15/12/2023https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/geography/our-products/settlements-and-localities-dataset/settlements-and-localities-digital-boundaries
