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.
43,135 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households29.6% · 12,757 households
Families with dependent children24.4% · 10,514 households
Other single-family households42.1% · 18,163 households
Other household types3.9% · 1,701 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.
99,156 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.8% · 8,764 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little12.0% · 11,905 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act79.2% · 78,487 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
The Heart of Natural Beauty project is acting at a critical point for nature. Across Bodmin Moor, the Lizard and the North Coast, ecosystems are unravelling fast, and without decisive intervention, the foundations of life will continue to collapse. This programme is an act of reconnection: restoring living systems at scale, breathing life back into our landscapes, and creating the conditions for species on the edge, including the vanishing curlew to return and thrive. High-impact action, we will heal wetlands, re-awaken fragments of temperate rainforest, and re-stitch mosaic habitats so recovery can move freely across the land once more. By placing young people at the heart of this work, through meaningful pathways of stewardship, the future becomes something co-created, not simply inherited. Together, Heart of Natural Beauty is weaving a wilder Cornwall: a place where nature and people flourish, and where tomorrow’s landscapes tell stories of courage, renewal and hope.
