Named the Sheffield Urban Area by the Office for National Statistics, it must not be confused with the Sheffield City Region, a non-government term, although often used, particularly by the business community. In 2001 the population density of the urban area was 3,949.2 people per km2 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_compendia/fom2005/03_FOPM_UrbanAreas.pdf|title=Acrobat (PDF) file giving statistics from UK Government|last=Pointer|first=Grahmam|publisher=ONS (www.statistics.gov.uk)|access-date=8 April 2007|archive-date=4 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110804232006/http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_compendia/fom2005/03_FOPM_UrbanAreas.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> by 2011 this had increased slightly to 4,092 people per km2.<ref name="BUA"/>

The city of Sheffield contributes just over two thirds of the population of the whole conurbation.

==Nearby places== Settlements very close to the conurbation but not included in the official statistics include Wharncliffe Side and Oughtibridge, which are separated from Hillsborough by Worrall and a half-mile stretch of the A6102 Middlewood Road North and the towns of Wath upon Dearne, Brampton Bierlow, Swinton, Mexborough, Darfield and Conisbrough which are part of the Dearne Valley Urban Area and are separated from Rawmarsh by the Wentworth Road, with the A633 and Dearne Valley railway lines.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/census2001/ks_urban_north_part_5.pdf|title=Urban North map (part 5)|publisher=ONS|access-date=8 April 2007|archive-date=9 January 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070109141715/http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/census2001/ks_urban_north_part_5.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Slightly further afield, Dronfield, in Derbyshire, is around half a mile away from the Greenhill area of the city along the A61 and B6158.
