England’s North/South Divide by population

36 comments
  1. Do we know what the land area is for north and south ? It doesn’t look like a big difference if I’m honest, which is the most surprising thing.

  2. As a Brummie this surprises the hell out of me, sometimes it feels like half a continent is crammed into this city.

  3. Would be cool if you still have the data up if you’re able to divide in 3 to see where the Midlands would start / end based on population?

    Edit: it’s pretty cool still anyway, I’m just curious

  4. Taking these boundaries (2020 figures):

    GDP South: £1.1T, £39,000 per head ($51,000 in 2020)

    GDP North: £0.75T, £27,000 per head ($35,000 in 2020)

  5. Off topic but why do people insist on using council maps that haven’t existed for quite some time. That Cumbernauld Exclave in Scotland is a dead giveaway.

  6. Very interesting by population the old joke of anything North of London being the North seems true.

    I like being in the North, all are welcome we have cookies and only the occasional frost giant

  7. Being born in Co. Durham I always considered the north-south divide to be from the Humber to the Wirral.
