Bradford was first incorporated as a municipal borough in 1847, covering the parishes of Bradford and Keighley. In 1889 it was granted county borough status, and in 1897 it included the neighbouring towns of Allerton, Bolton, and Bowling. In the mid-1890s it was expanded to include Thornton, North Bierley, and Eccleshill. In 1930, the city included Clayton.
Bradford's population was 534,300 in June 2017, a slight increase over the previous year. The number of births outnumbered the number of deaths, contributing to a relatively slow rate of growth. In contrast, Bradford has seen significant growth in the past decade, but its decline in recent years is due to fewer people moving to the city. The city has low rates of immigration, and its average commute time is 25.3 minutes.
