List of two-tier counties of England

This is a list of two-tier counties of England by population.

For a list including metropolitan counties and unitary authorities, see List of ceremonial counties of England.

It includes those non-metropolitan counties (also known as shire counties) with a two-tier county council structure and does not include metropolitan counties or unitary authorities.

Where a unitary authority has separated from a shire county the population of the unitary authority is counted elsewhere. For example, the population of Blackpool is not included in Lancashire in this table.

The figures are mid-year estimates for mid-2019 est. from the Office for National Statistics.[1][2]

Densities are calculated from population and area values.
