Scarborough Town

1991 Census - 53,634

Mid-2001 Estimates - 52,190

(Includes Castle, Central, Eastfield, Falsgrave, Newby, Northstead, Scalby, Weaponness and Woodlands wards)

2001 Census - 50,135

(Includes Castle, Central, Eastfield, Falsgrave Park, Newby, North Bay, Northstead, Ramshill, Stepney, Weaponness and Woodlands wards)

Note: This does not necessarily mean that the population of Scarborough Town has gone down. The ward boundaries changed in May 2003 so it may be that the area covered by Scarborough Town wards has been reduced. Scalby now forms part of a ward along with Hackness and Staintondale so can no longer be counted as being part of Scarborough Town as it was previously.

Mid-2001 Estimates - 13,640
(Includes Mayfield and Streonshalh wards)

2001 Census - 13,594

(Includes Mayfield, Streonshalh and Whitby West Cliff wards)

Note: Changes to ward boundaries may also have affected this figure, although from comparing maps it appears as if the previous Mayfield ward has just been split to produce Mayfield and Whitby West Cliff wards.

Filey Town

1991 Census - 6,621

Mid-2001 Estimates - 6,680

2001 Census- 6,468

Note: Changes to ward boundaries means that the area covered by the Filey ward has been reduced and no longer includes Hunmanby Gap or Primrose Valley.
