Carshalton and Wallington is an outer south-London constituency wholly within the London Borough of Sutton. It includes Carshalton, Wallington, Beddington, Hackbridge, St Helier and The Wrythe. The seat is predominantly suburban, with several established town and local centres linked by residential neighbourhoods, railways and main roads. Carshalton and Wallington provide the two principal centres, while Hackbridge and Beddington lie closer to the River Wandle and areas of former industrial land. Parks, river corridors and open spaces break up the built environment, particularly toward the southern and eastern edges. The constituency is therefore urban in character but less densely built than many inner-London seats.
Election data comes from UK Parliament. Turnout percentage is calculated by Project Open Gov from Parliament's turnout and electorate figures.

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.
40,638 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households25.9% · 10,544 households
Families with dependent children36.2% · 14,729 households
Other single-family households33.6% · 13,635 households
Other household types4.3% · 1,730 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.
105,014 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.3% · 6,655 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little8.8% · 9,234 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.9% · 89,125 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 ↗
