Ealing Central and Acton lies in west London and is centred on Ealing Broadway and Acton. It includes a mixture of busy town centres, dense residential streets and established suburban neighbourhoods. Ealing Broadway is the main commercial and transport hub, while Acton has several distinct local centres and rail connections across London. The constituency also contains substantial parks and tree-lined residential areas, giving some neighbourhoods a more suburban character despite their inner-west London location. Major east–west rail and road corridors cross the seat, including routes linking central London with Heathrow and the Thames Valley. Overall, it is a compact urban constituency with several closely connected centres rather than one dominant district.
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.
54,004 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households32.5% · 17,570 households
Families with dependent children27.1% · 14,632 households
Other single-family households28.9% · 15,624 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.
132,426 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.2% · 6,949 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little7.0% · 9,320 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act87.7% · 116,157 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 ↗
