Wolverhampton is the Black Country's principal city - around 265,000 in the city, within a Black Country region of roughly 1.2 million (alongside Dudley, Walsall and Sandwell) and a West Midlands Combined Authority population of approximately 3 million. The economy is anchored by Jaguar Land Rover's engine manufacturing centre at i54 South Staffordshire (Wolverhampton's flagship automotive asset), Moog Aircraft Group, Collins Aerospace supply-chain operations, the University of Wolverhampton, and a historic Black Country metal-working and locks / safes industry (Chubb, Yale). Serious injuries across the area route through the West Midlands major-trauma structure, with New Cross Hospital as a Trauma Unit and the regional Major Trauma Centres at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, UHCW Coventry, and Royal Stoke.
