NUTS Data
Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) is a geographical system, divided into one of four levels based on geographic size.
The levels are titled:
NUTS 0 (largest area)
NUTS 1
NUTS 2
NUTS 3 (smallest area)
The system was introduced to allow for comparison of statistics across different countries, based on similar areas of geographic size.
NUTS 3 regions typically include a population of between 150,000 and 800,000.
In England NUTS 3 regions are Counties or groups of unitary authorities, 139 areas in total.
Each NUTS region has a unique code, the length of which is dependent on the hierarchical level of the NUTS region illustrated below based on Leeds:
| Region | NUTS level | Code |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | NUTS 0 | UK |
| Yorkshire and the Humber | NUTS 1 | UKE |
| West Yorkshire | NUTS 2 | UKE4 |
| Leeds | NUTS 3 | UKE42 |
