Halesowen constituency covers the southern part of the Dudley metropolitan borough and is centred on Halesowen. It includes surrounding suburban communities and neighbourhoods on the western edge of the West Midlands conurbation. Halesowen is the main town and commercial centre, with residential development extending outward toward the Birmingham boundary and more open land farther west and south. The constituency has a predominantly suburban character, but woodland, hills and green spaces create noticeable breaks in development near the edge of the Black Country. Major roads connect the area with Birmingham, Dudley, Stourbridge and Worcestershire. The seat therefore sits at a transition between continuous metropolitan development and the countryside beyond.
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.
39,813 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.4% · 12,099 households
Families with dependent children29.0% · 11,556 households
Other single-family households37.8% · 15,036 households
Other household types2.8% · 1,122 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.
94,737 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.2% · 7,801 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.7% · 10,114 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act81.1% · 76,822 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 ↗
