Home ownership and renting

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

42,393 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners70.3% · 29,823 households
Private renters14.8% · 6,290 households
Social renters13.1% · 5,555 households
Other tenure1.7% · 725 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.

42,394 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.2% · 12,786 households
Families with dependent children24.0% · 10,193 households
Other single-family households42.5% · 18,008 households
Other household types3.3% · 1,407 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.

95,081 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.3% · 5,949 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.2% · 9,707 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act83.5% · 79,425 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 ↗

Heart of England Forest

The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage

About this award

The Heart of England Forest aims to create a volunteering model that enables more people to value and care for their local natural heritage, building on the clear demand demonstrated through our successful pilot evening sessions. By offering high-quality, accessible conservation opportunities outside traditional working hours, the project will remove time-based barriers that prevent many working-age adults from engaging with natural heritage. Through hands-on woodland, meadow and wetland management, volunteers will learn traditional countryside skills, deepen their understanding of the Forest’s ecological and cultural significance, and contribute directly to the care of priority habitats. The project will also support wellbeing, reduce isolation and strengthen community connection to place. Its long-term legacy will be a more diverse, resilient volunteer community, embedded in the ongoing stewardship of the Forest and ensure people can meaningfully contribute to, care for, and feel genuine ownership of the natural environment on their doorstep.
