Sheffield Heeley covers a broad area south of Sheffield city centre and includes established residential neighbourhoods, local shopping centres and communities spread across the city’s characteristic hills and valleys. The constituency is predominantly urban, with a mixture of terraced housing, suburban development and former industrial land. Major roads and rail routes connect the area with central Sheffield and the southern edge of the city. Parks, river valleys and wooded slopes provide important green spaces. Overall, the seat forms part of the continuous Sheffield urban area but contains several distinct neighbourhoods rather than one dominant local centre.
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.
46,985 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households34.6% · 16,280 households
Families with dependent children27.8% · 13,039 households
Other single-family households33.7% · 15,849 households
Other household types3.9% · 1,817 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.
105,673 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot10.1% · 10,647 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little12.2% · 12,882 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act77.7% · 82,144 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 ↗
