Home ownership and renting

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

37,742 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners77.5% · 29,259 households
Private renters13.0% · 4,889 households
Social renters9.1% · 3,421 households
Other tenure0.5% · 173 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.

37,742 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.0% · 11,334 households
Families with dependent children23.6% · 8,905 households
Other single-family households44.2% · 16,664 households
Other household types2.2% · 839 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.

85,228 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.5% · 7,268 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.3% · 9,620 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act80.2% · 68,340 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 ↗
