North Yorkshire County Council
Biographical Info
We are responsible for providing a wide range of public services to around 600,000 people living in around 256,600 households in North Yorkshire.
The county covers an area of over 800,000 hectares and is predominantly rural. Broken down by population: 21 per cent of people live in the two major towns (Harrogate and Scarborough) while 32 per cent of people live in areas defined as ‘sparse’ (between 130 and 1,036 people per square mile) and 24 per cent live in ‘super sparse’ areas (fewer than 129 people per square mile).
The county has a well-diversified economy. The importance of the financial and business services sector has grown and the service sector such as tourism jobs makes up the majority of employment. Manufacturing retains its importance, particularly the food and drink sector. High levels of self-employment and employment in small businesses are vital to the rural areas of the county as are the strong tourism and agriculture sectors.
