Local context

About this constituency

Alloa and Grangemouth crosses the Clackmannanshire and Falkirk council areas. In Clackmannanshire it includes Alloa, Tullibody, Clackmannan and much of the surrounding county, while on the Falkirk side it takes in Grangemouth and reaches north through areas around Larbert and Stenhousemuir. The River Forth forms a major geographical feature across the southern part of the constituency, with Grangemouth’s port and industrial areas on its southern side and the Hillfoots and Ochils rising beyond the Clackmannanshire towns to the north. The seat therefore brings together two different concentrations of population: the Alloa-centred communities of Clackmannanshire and the Grangemouth/Larbert side of the Falkirk area.

Population figures are mid-2024 estimates from the House of Commons Library. Project Open Gov calculates the estimated population shown above by summing the six published age-band counts. View population source ↗

Home ownership and renting

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

43,677 householdsCensus 2022
Home owners64.4% · 28,145 households
Private renters8.3% · 3,613 households
Social renters25.9% · 11,293 households
Other tenure1.4% · 626 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.

43,679 householdsCensus 2022
One-person households35.9% · 15,688 households
Families with dependent children25.1% · 10,949 households
Other single-family households37.3% · 16,308 households
Other household types1.7% · 734 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.

94,405 people in the source baseCensus 2022Source comparison: Scotland
Day-to-day activities limited a lot11.5% · 10,877 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little13.9% · 13,079 people
Non-disabled74.6% · 70,449 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 ↗
