website. It gives Resident Population figures for Local Authority areas
for 2010 (mid-year estimates). Leicester had the 29th largest
population for local authority areas in the United Kingdom.
The table includes some county and part-county local authorities, where these are now Unitary Authorities following local government boundary changes in recent years.
