A population and household snapshot for Leeds North West, using validated House of Commons Library constituency datasets.
Population figures are mid-2024 estimates from the House of Commons Library. Project Open Gov calculates the estimated population shown above by summing the six published age-band counts. View population source ↗
Housing tenure shows how households in this constituency described their home at the most recent census.
“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 ↗
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.
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 ↗
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
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 ↗

The Bridge Church Otley United Reformed Church Charity
By planning collaboratively, and building our strengths as a community, this heritage project is aimed at inspiring people, developing skills, and increasing a sense of custodianship whilst bringing generations together. Part of our mission is for people to enjoy celebrating heritage, enhancing awareness of the history of the buildings and architecture here, and environmental conservation issues. Our aim is to increase the number of local people involved in protecting heritage. Ecologically we will be developing the church grounds, increasing biodiversity and planting for pollinators. This project is also about improving the fabric of the building. We will replace the roof and improve the insulation in the roof, significantly reducing heat loss, and we will install solar panels. Materials will be sourced locally. All the renovations and environmental work will be documented in the learning resources made widely available in the town to support and encourage others.
