The most populous hundred in the county is Becontree which, with a population of around 1.2 million (as of 2024), has been absorbed into the London built-up area in its entirety. As with the traditional county itself, the hundreds no longer have any administrative function, though the districts into which [[Essex County Council]]'s area is divided, in some cases, have similar names to the hundreds (most, however, cover substantially different areas). The districts in question are Chelmsford, Harlow, Tendring and Rochford.
