Home ownership and renting

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

45,720 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners59.0% · 26,969 households
Private renters27.6% · 12,639 households
Social renters12.6% · 5,760 households
Other tenure0.8% · 352 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.

45,720 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households29.0% · 13,280 households
Families with dependent children33.5% · 15,308 households
Other single-family households32.2% · 14,735 households
Other household types5.2% · 2,397 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.

111,482 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot4.3% · 4,788 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little7.1% · 7,937 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act88.6% · 98,757 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 ↗
