North Warwickshire and Bedworth combines the town of Bedworth with a broad area of northern Warwickshire. Bedworth forms part of the continuous urban corridor around Coventry and Nuneaton, while communities farther west and north are smaller and more rural. The constituency includes former industrial and mining settlements, villages, farmland and transport corridors linking Birmingham, Coventry and the Midlands motorway network. Open land separates many of the smaller communities outside Bedworth. The seat therefore contains a marked contrast between an established urban town and a substantial semi-rural and rural hinterland across the northern part of the county.
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.
39,472 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households28.1% · 11,109 households
Families with dependent children28.1% · 11,088 households
Other single-family households40.7% · 16,083 households
Other household types3.0% · 1,192 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.
93,667 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.5% · 7,966 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.7% · 9,996 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act80.8% · 75,705 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 ↗
