Local context

About this constituency

Buckingham and Bletchley crosses the boundary between Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. It brings together the historic market town of Buckingham and the surrounding rural area around Winslow and Great Brickhill with Bletchley and Tattenhoe on the south-western side of Milton Keynes. This creates a pronounced contrast between the planned urban and suburban neighbourhoods of Bletchley and the smaller towns, villages and farmland farther west. Buckingham is the main traditional market centre, while Bletchley forms part of the much larger Milton Keynes built-up area. The constituency is therefore unusual in combining a substantial modern urban district with an extensive rural Buckinghamshire hinterland in a single seat.

Private renters16.4% · 6,806 households
Social renters15.7% · 6,523 households
Other tenure3.5% · 1,447 households

Housing-tenure figures come from the most recent census: 2021 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2022 in Scotland. View housing-tenure source ↗

Household composition

A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.

41,540 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households24.5% · 10,170 households
Families with dependent children33.4% · 13,883 households
Other single-family households38.1% · 15,840 households
Other household types4.0% · 1,647 households

Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗

Disability and day-to-day activities

The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

105,634 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.6% · 5,937 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little9.1% · 9,591 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act85.3% · 90,106 people

Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.

Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗
