The district is rural and sparsely populated with just over 79,293 people in 2000[1] and 91,000 in 2008, a 14.8% increase.[2] The largest town in the district is Brackley, which has a population of 14,000 in 2008[2] followed by Towcester which has a population of nearly 10,000.[2] Other significant places include Middleton Cheney.
