With a slightly higher population of 185,609 which includes outlying areas not often referred to as being part of the town, such as Wanborough, the Built Up Area is another definition. The unparished area is the final definition with a population of 122,642. It reflects the former unparished area as its name suggests, now covered by the parishes of West Swindon, Central Swindon North and South, and Nythe, Eldene and Liden; thus it omits suburbs to the east and north, namely the parishes of Covingham, Stratton St Margaret and Haydon Wick.
