Chester, a historic Cheshire city near the Welsh border, does not currently appear in the
European Top-400 Regional Markets list. Notably, unlike the other markets in this stub
group, its distance from Liverpool (roughly 30 to 40 miles, or 48–64 km) falls within the
15–80 km suburban-regional band the qualification otherwise applies — suggesting a build-coverage
gap rather than a distance exclusion.
Chester, a historic Cheshire city near the Welsh border, does not currently appear under its
own name in the European Top-400 Regional Markets list. It sits close to Liverpool — roughly 17
to 19 miles by road — so its absence is a question about how the market is bounded and named in
the source build, not about distance.

## Overview

According to Wikipedia (accessed 2026-07-10), Chester's built-up area had 92,760 residents at
the 2021 census (138,875 for the official city area including charter trustee wards). It is
situated approximately 30 to 40 miles northwest of Liverpool via the M53 motorway.

suburban-regional band) still holds once corrected. **Flagged, not resolved.** The

## Regional Market Standing

Chester does not currently appear in the [[atlas-top-400-europe|Top 400 Regional Markets —
Europe]] list, though its distance from Liverpool sits within
[[about-regional-markets-system|the co-location qualification system's]] own 15–80 km
suburban-regional band — unlike the standalone-secondary and metro-core markets elsewhere in
this stub group. This more plausibly reflects a gap in the current OSM-derived build than a
deliberate exclusion. The administrative unit "Cheshire West and Chester" does appear in the
Chester does not currently appear under its own name in the [[atlas-top-400-europe|Top 400
Regional Markets — Europe]] list. The administrative unit "Cheshire West and Chester" does appear in the
Top-400 set (suburb of Wigan), but that entry covers a different administrative boundary
than the city of Chester itself. This article does not assert they are the same market
without further verification.
