Stretford and Urmston covers communities in the Trafford borough immediately south-west of Manchester. It is centred on the towns of Stretford and Urmston and includes surrounding suburban neighbourhoods closely integrated with the Greater Manchester conurbation. The constituency is predominantly residential and urban, with major road, tram and rail routes providing strong links to Manchester city centre and Salford. Parks, the Mersey valley and other green spaces create substantial breaks within the built-up area. Overall, the seat combines mature suburbs and distinct local town centres within one continuous metropolitan landscape.
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.
41,881 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.9% · 12,942 households
Families with dependent children31.0% · 12,977 households
Other single-family households33.8% · 14,165 households
Other household types4.3% · 1,797 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.
101,770 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.1% · 8,197 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.1% · 10,262 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act81.9% · 83,311 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 ↗
