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.
48,216 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households32.6% · 15,711 households
Families with dependent children25.5% · 12,288 households
Other single-family households34.2% · 16,484 households
Other household types7.7% · 3,733 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.
117,371 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot7.9% · 9,301 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little12.2% · 14,361 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act79.8% · 93,709 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 ↗

About this award
We want to build recognition of and visitor numbers to Southeast Lincoln's heritage, include that of the Southside site. First, we need to vision what this can be through developing a 5-year strategic plan in collaboration with local heritage custodians and our communities. This will result in the iterative creations of national quality heritage interpretations that are relevant to local people and visitors. We will secondly, demonstrate the potential of this vision by co-creating multi-sensory, inclusively designed interpretations of Southside site's important medieval heritage. Through robust partnerships, strategically planning, embedding heritage knowledge into our team (by appointing a Heritage Officer), training heritage volunteers, and local people learning new skills, we are demonstrating our commitment to this local heritage. Plus, providing an opportunity to harness our heritage as another tool for building our economical sustainability, conserving our grade II listed buildings, and continue contributing to Southeast Lincoln's cultural and economic growth.
