Northampton North covers the northern half of the town of Northampton. It includes established residential neighbourhoods, suburban communities and commercial areas extending from districts close to the centre toward the town’s northern edge. The constituency is predominantly urban and suburban, with major roads connecting it to the wider Midlands transport network. Parks, river valleys and open spaces create some breaks in development, while outer neighbourhoods become lower-density. Northampton town centre lies nearby to the south and remains the principal commercial focus for the wider area. The seat therefore represents the northern part of one substantial urban centre rather than a separate town.
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.
52,292 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households31.3% · 16,343 households
Families with dependent children30.7% · 16,058 households
Other single-family households30.6% · 16,006 households
Other household types7.4% · 3,885 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.
128,268 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.5% · 8,398 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little9.3% · 11,967 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.1% · 107,903 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 ↗
