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.
41,680 householdsCensus 2022
One-person households28.2% · 11,737 households
Families with dependent children28.8% · 12,021 households
Other single-family households41.6% · 17,351 households
Other household types1.4% · 571 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.
97,474 people in the source baseCensus 2022Source comparison: Scotland
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.2% · 6,080 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.4% · 11,113 people
Non-disabled82.4% · 80,281 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 ↗

About this award
The Fit For The Future project will repurpose an existing space, creating a commercial spec garage that can complete customer work, up to a specified level of competency (routine maintenance and light repairs), with a specific focus on heritage vehicles. This will allow us to bringing the skills to care for heritage vehicles in-house, and better care for our own collection; generate self-sustaining revenue through customer work and provide a bespoke space for teaching heritage vehicle skills to others through our Heritage Skills Programme, alongside a Tool Library to support skill building and sharing. This will be transformative for Grampian Transport Museum, allowing us to connect with new audiences and remain relevant to existing audiences, through the garage, library and workshops - driving additional footfall and generating additional revenue at a time when it is most needed.
