The Yorkshire and Humber area covers some 15,400 sq. km, of which 20% is National Park. North Yorkshire and the Humber area are primarily rural, with a cluster of services and heavy industries around the Humber ports, whilst South and West Yorkshire are mainly urban, based on traditional industries undergoing transformation. 

It had a population of over 5.1 million (8.7% of GB) in 2006, an increase of 3.5% since 2001. The density is 334 people per sq km; generally highest in the south and west, in a band running northwards from the Sheffield/Rotherham conurbation through Barnsley, Doncaster, Wakefield and Huddersfield to Leeds/Bradford. The lowest is in North Yorkshire (74 per sq km).
