Maidenhead constituency is centred on the Berkshire town of Maidenhead and includes surrounding villages and suburban communities. Maidenhead is the principal commercial and transport centre, with strong rail links toward London and Reading. The River Thames is an important physical feature, particularly around riverside communities and nearby villages. Outside the main town, the constituency includes lower-density settlements, farmland and wooded areas, giving it a mixed suburban and semi-rural character. Major roads connect the area with Windsor, Slough and the Thames Valley. The seat therefore combines a sizeable commuter town with smaller communities and open countryside rather than forming one continuous urban area.
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.
41,693 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households25.9% · 10,797 households
Families with dependent children31.7% · 13,223 households
Other single-family households38.0% · 15,838 households
Other household types4.4% · 1,835 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.
104,207 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot4.5% · 4,703 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little7.6% · 7,951 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act87.9% · 91,553 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 ↗
