The built-up area had 141,685 residents in 2021. York is the traditional county town of Yorkshire and the administrative center of the City of York district.

Narrow Roman and medieval streets remain inside the wall circuit. The Ouse and Foss divide that core from rail, university, and later residential districts.

York's walled core, Ouse-Foss confluence, minster, castle, and nearby university streets fit within two kilometres. The walls contain a street pattern much finer than the outer districts.

Trace the wall circuit in stone gray around timber-brown lanes and leave both rivers white. Black rail lines can establish the newer western edge.
