Home ownership and renting

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

39,331 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners46.7% · 18,361 households
Private renters26.7% · 10,487 households
Social renters25.8% · 10,144 households
Other tenure0.9% · 339 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.

39,330 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households31.3% · 12,317 households
Families with dependent children26.7% · 10,505 households
Other single-family households29.4% · 11,548 households
Other household types12.6% · 4,960 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.

109,364 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot7.8% · 8,518 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.4% · 11,338 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act81.8% · 89,508 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 Stories We Weave marks 20 years since the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS (NUH) Trust was formed.

Textile Participatory Sessions using one of every existing uniform to create lasting artworks that sit across the four Trust sites, preserving the material identity of the Trust that will soon be lost through nationalisation of uniforms. Exhibiting and Archiving, in partnership with the University of Nottingham’s Manuscripts and Special Collections team (M&SC). Audio clips of collected stories and artworks will be exhibited across the Trust giving staff, patients and visitors multiple ways to engage with our 20-year history.
