Wetherby and Easingwold covers a broad rural and commuter area between Leeds and York. It is centred on market towns such as Wetherby and Easingwold and includes numerous villages spread across the Vale of York and surrounding countryside. Wetherby has strong links toward Leeds and the A1 corridor, while Easingwold serves a more rural hinterland north of York. Farmland and open landscapes dominate much of the constituency outside the principal towns. Overall, the seat combines commuter communities, market towns and a substantial rural area rather than one dominant urban 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.
38,998 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households26.8% · 10,445 households
Families with dependent children25.8% · 10,055 households
Other single-family households45.2% · 17,628 households
Other household types2.2% · 870 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.
91,528 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.8% · 5,306 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little9.7% · 8,886 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.5% · 77,336 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 ↗

The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Reimagining Harewood will encourage a more diverse range of people to experience and engage with our heritage, improve understanding of Harewood’s history, enhance and heal our historic landscape, and support Harewood’s long term financial and environmental sustainability. We aim to achieve this through capital works, new interpretation and displays and engagement activities that will remove barriers to access and participation. A new visitor centre in the existing Grade II Bakehouse will offer accessible and welcoming facilities and inclusive interpretation co-designed with descendant and local communities as part of an engagement programme. This historic Bakehouse will be conserved and brought into public use. Harewood's landscape will be healed with improved biodiversity; and historic sightlines between the House, Bakehouse and Courtyard restored. By improving arrival, interpretation and facilities, Reimagining Harewood will strengthen organisational sustainability, diversify income, and secure Harewood’s long-term future as a welcoming, relevant and resilient place of heritage and learning.
