Home ownership and renting

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

49,144 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners52.4% · 25,741 households
Private renters25.0% · 12,298 households
Social renters22.0% · 10,819 households
Other tenure0.6% · 286 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.

49,147 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households33.3% · 16,349 households
Families with dependent children27.8% · 13,648 households
Other single-family households33.2% · 16,301 households
Other household types5.8% · 2,849 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.

115,498 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.1% · 9,386 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.7% · 12,365 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act81.2% · 93,747 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 ↗
