Fylde covers the coastal plain west of Preston and is centred on Lytham St Annes, Kirkham and surrounding villages. Lytham and St Annes form the largest continuous urban area along the Irish Sea coast, while Kirkham provides a separate inland market-town centre. Much of the remainder of the constituency is made up of villages, farmland and lower-density communities across the Fylde plain. The Ribble estuary shapes the southern edge, while Blackpool lies immediately to the north-west outside the seat. Major road and rail links connect the area with Preston, Blackpool and the wider Lancashire coast. Overall, the constituency combines seaside towns, commuter settlements and substantial agricultural countryside.
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.

Families with dependent children22.0% · 9,830 households

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.
96,276 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.7% · 8,388 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.5% · 11,054 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act79.8% · 76,834 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 ↗
