Local context

About this constituency

Liverpool Walton covers a broad area of north Liverpool and includes established residential communities, former industrial districts and local centres extending toward the city’s northern boundary. The constituency is strongly urban, with dense streets, major road corridors and areas of post-war housing. Everton and neighbouring communities form part of the inner section, while districts farther north become more suburban. Parks, railway land and former industrial sites create significant breaks within the built-up landscape. The seat is closely connected to central Liverpool but retains several distinct neighbourhood identities. Overall, it reflects the varied urban development of north Liverpool rather than being centred on one separate town.

Description last reviewed 13 September 2026.

Home ownership and renting

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

Private renters19.7% · 8,486 households
Social renters27.1% · 11,665 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.

43,074 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households32.5% · 13,997 households
Families with dependent children30.8% · 13,280 households
Other single-family households32.9% · 14,165 households
Other household types3.8% · 1,632 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.

101,853 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot12.9% · 13,120 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.1% · 11,279 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act76.0% · 77,454 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 ↗
