More Information

The latest population figures produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 23 November 2023 show that an estimated 552,600 people live in Bradford District - an increase of 5,800 people (1%) since the mid-2021 population estimates were published.

Bradford District is the fifth largest metropolitan district (in terms of population) in England, after Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester.

The increase in the District's population is largely due to "natural change"- (there have been around 1,900 more births than deaths) and migration (there have been around 3,900 more people coming to live in Bradford than leaving for other parts of the UK and overseas).

A large proportion of Bradford's population is dominated by the younger age groups. More than one-quarter (28.2%) of the District's population is aged less than 20 and nearly seven in ten people are aged less than 50. Bradford has the sixth highest percentage (25.5%) of the under 18 population in England after the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Slough Borough Council, Luton Borough Council, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and Oldham Borough Council.

The population of Bradford is ethnically diverse. The largest proportion of the district's population (56.7%) identifies themselves as White British. The district has the second largest proportion of people of Pakistani ethnic origin (25.5%) in England.

The largest religious group in Bradford is Christian (33.4% of the population) followed by Muslims (30.5%). 28.2% stated that they had no religion.

There are 209,900 households in the Bradford district. Most households own their own home (31.9% outright and 29.9% with a mortgage or loan). The percentage of privately rented households is 23%. 30.8% of households were single person households.

Information from the Annual Population Survey in June 2021 found that Bradford has 225,000 people aged 16-64 in employment. At 68% this is significantly lower than the national rate (76%). 105,200 (around 1 in 3 people) aged 16-64, are not in work - this includes full-time students, people who are looking after their home and family as well as people who are unemployed. The claimant count rate is 6.9% which is higher than the regional and national averages.

Skill levels are improving with 33.4% of 16 to 74 year olds educated to degree level. 31.4% of the district's employed residents work in public admin, education and health. The percentage of people working in manufacturing has continued to decrease from 14.6% in 2012 to 10.5% in 2022. This is still higher than the average for Great Britain (8.2%). (This data is derived from 2018 based projections which use demographic trends which pre-date the COVID-19 pandemic).

More Information

Public health funerals are provided by local authorities for people who have passed away and have no next of kin, or whose next of kin, relatives or friends are unable or unwilling to make the necessary arrangements for a funeral. They are designed to protect public health and are important in ensuring that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their circumstances.

The Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 (‘the Act') places a statutory duty on local authorities to arrange for a burial or cremation where no suitable alternative arrangements are being made. However, the Act does not define how local authorities should carry out this duty - meaning there is considerable flexibility in how these funerals are delivered.

The provisions within section 46 of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 were developed to protect public safety and limit the spread of infectious diseases - their primary objective is to protect public health.
Public health funerals are delivered and funded by local authorities (although local authorities can recover their costs from the estate of the deceased). For deaths that occur in hospital, NHS Trusts are advised to develop their own policy which takes into account their local authority protocol and work together to ensure a respectful burial or cremation as efficiently as possible.

What is legally required of local authorities?

Section 46, ‘Burial and Cremation' of the Act requires that:

It shall be the duty of a local authority to cause to be buried or cremated the body of any person who has died or been found dead in their area, in any case where it appears to the authority that no suitable arrangements for the disposal of the body have been or are being made otherwise than by the authority.

Local authorities, as defined in Section 1 of the Act, are therefore responsible for arranging a burial or cremation where a person has died or who has been found dead in their area (though may not live there), and it is apparent that this will not be carried out otherwise. Local authorities also have responsibilities where the deceased were provided with accommodation in care settings.

The Act also stipulates:

• The deceased should not be cremated where the local authority has reason to believe that would be contrary to the wishes of the deceased. It is therefore important to be mindful of any indications of the deceased's preferred method for their final committal, including any requirements they had in relation to their religion or belief. Further details are included in section 4.
• A local authority may recover, from the estate of the deceased person, the expenses incurred in the provision of a public health funeral. The Act also stipulates that this is recoverable as civil debt by proceedings brought within three years after the sum becomes due. Further information on recouping the costs of the funeral can be found in section 6.

Get Information About Schools (GIAS) is a publicly available resource and can be used to find details about schools, children's centres, academy trusts and sponsors, and school federations in England. The information available is updated by both the Department for Education and by schools themselves, and is updated in GIAS on a daily basis.

These datasets are derived from GIAS to provide a view of open schools in Bradford.

One dataset gives detail of all Bradford schools, including independent, Further Education, and Higher Education settings.
The other dataset excludes these setting to give a list of 'Bradford Local Authority' schools.

The lists include schools whose status is either 'open', or 'due to close' at the time of extraction. The Ofsted rating is taken from GIAS, which in turn aligns to ratings published on the Ofsted website.

Updated annually*, the KS5 data, drawn from the Compare School Data website and NEXUS (compiled OFSTED ratings, full reports available at the DfE), was chosen to represent some character of the school (Type, Denomination, Size of the 16-18 cohort and Ofsted rating) alongside attainment data. Ease of understanding has been considered by the inclusion of grades based on the average attainment for each average point score. Academic entry scores are those qualifications that enable entry into further education. Applied general qualifications and tech level qualifications are included to show alternative qualification attainments against schools. The selection of qualifications included are to allow comparison of schools against various criteria of academia.

*Due to the impact of Covid-19 on assessments and examinations in 2019/20 and 2020/21, the most recent data available in this series is from 2018/19.
Additionally, DfE have published LA-level outcomes for KS5 in 19/20 and will do so for 20/21. This data is not included in these open data sets as they are not school derived levels and cannot be directly compared to historical data.

The Council is required by law to publish information about its employees relating to certain categories (known as Protected Characteristics) under the Equality Act 2010. Promoting Equality is one of the Council's core principles and is central to all we do.


So that the user can most easily find and understand the data presented, the Council has adopted a variety of display methods e.g. tables, graphs, text narrative as appropriate to the information. A wide variety of information can be accessed via the links on this page.


Information has been collected for a number of years on Race, Disability, Gender and Age, as was previously the requirement under fore-runner equalities legislation. Therefore, the links will give a good range of information about these characteristics.


Information relating to Sexual Orientation, Pregnancy & Maternity and Religion & Belief has only been a requirement since the Equality Act came into force in 2010. The Council amended its systems to enable information on Sexual Orientation and Religion & Belief to be recorded for its workforce, however this information is provided voluntarily and current take up is low. With only limited information available comparisons using this information would prove unreliable at this stage.


Absence of data should not be taken to imply any lack of interest by the Council in the welfare of these groups; the Council is working hard to help employees feel more comfortable in declaring protected characteristics.


Requests for further employment related information should be sent to:

Bradford Council fleet vehicle dataset. This dataset includes


- The vehicles maintained by the council's in house workshop facility.
- How much fuel each council vehicle has consumed, by fuel type during the 12 month period.

The following information refers to the columns in the data:

- Fleet No = fleet number (specific number used to identify a vehicle)
- Litres = fuel used in litre
- Product = DSL: Diesel, UNL: Unleaded, GAS: Gas
- Odo = Speedo reading
- Distance = Total mileage for the reporting period
- MPG = Miles Per Gallon
- AdBlue is a liquid used to reduce the nitrous oxide emissions of diesel engines and is made up of a mixture of urea and deionized water that is sprayed into the exhaust system. Its widespread introduction coincided with the current Euro 6 emissions standards, which are part of ever more stringent emissions targets that car manufacturers are now required to meet. Without AdBlue, it would be much more difficult to lower the emissions of diesel cars and get them to comply with the latest standards.
