We call a Gromov–Hausdorff limit of complete Riemannian manifolds with a lower bound of Ricci curvature a Ricci limit space. Furthermore, we prove that any Ricci limit space has integral Hausdorff dimension, provided that its Hausdorff dimension is not greater than 2. We also classify 1-dimensional Ricci limit spaces.
