Local context

About this constituency

Eastleigh constituency is centred on the Hampshire town of Eastleigh and extends into neighbouring suburban communities between Southampton and Winchester. It includes a largely continuous built-up area of housing, local centres and transport corridors, while some outer parts retain woodland, river valleys and open space. Eastleigh itself is the main commercial and rail centre and developed strongly around the railway network. The constituency’s position close to Southampton Airport and major motorway routes gives it strong transport connections, while nearby communities form part of the wider South Hampshire urban area. Overall, the seat is predominantly suburban and commuter-oriented rather than rural, although green corridors remain an important part of its landscape.

Home ownership and renting

Housing tenure shows how households in this constituency described their home at the most recent census.

38,852 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners71.7% · 27,858 households
Private renters13.8% · 5,360 households
Social renters12.6% · 4,892 households
Other tenure1.9% · 742 households

“Other tenure” combines shared ownership and households recorded as living rent free.

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.

38,852 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households26.2% · 10,180 households
Families with dependent children29.8% · 11,559 households
Other single-family households40.3% · 15,672 households
Other household types3.7% · 1,441 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.

93,554 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.0% · 5,569 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.0% · 9,392 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.0% · 78,593 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 ↗
