Local context

About this constituency

Bangor Aberconwy stretches across north-west Wales from Bangor and the Menai side of Gwynedd east through the Conwy Valley and along the north Wales coast. It includes Bangor, Conwy, Llandudno, Deganwy and Penmaenmawr, together with inland communities such as Betws-y-Coed, Trefriw and villages across the Conwy Valley and neighbouring uplands. The constituency therefore contains several distinct centres rather than one continuous urban area. Coastal towns and resorts sit alongside the university city of Bangor, while the inland section becomes increasingly rural and mountainous toward Eryri and the upper Conwy Valley. Its long east–west shape brings together communities connected by the A55 coast corridor as well as more dispersed settlements away from it.

Home ownership and renting

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

40,182 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners65.6% · 26,360 households
Private renters19.6% · 7,871 households
Social renters14.3% · 5,735 households
Other tenure0.5% · 216 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.

40,183 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households33.5% · 13,448 households
Families with dependent children23.4% · 9,412 households
Other single-family households38.3% · 15,409 households
Other household types4.8% · 1,914 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.

92,264 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.7% · 8,005 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.4% · 10,547 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act79.9% · 73,712 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 ↗

Arts Council of Wales | Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru · Arts

About this award

We wish to deliver ceramic projects as part of an arts and wellbeing focus working with members of Aberconwy Domestic Abuse group. Benefits of the project will include improvement in mental health and wellbeing as we believe that clay can root, calm and stabilise the emotions of the user. As well as encouraging users to feel more in the moment, pottery sessions can help reduce that feeling of disassociation with everything around them and relieve stress.

Home Away from Home Adra Ffwrdd o Adra

North Wales Africa Society

£1,500

Arts Council of Wales | Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru · Arts

About this award

Home Away From Home (Adra Ffwrdd o Adra) is a new collaborative theatre project between North Wales Africa Society and Cwmni’r Frân Wen, exploring the perennial question, through the eyes of children and young people: what makes a home? Through movement, music and words, and intergenerational dialogue, this project will consider how our heritage, and cultures play a part in our search for home - can home exist in more than one place? Can home truly thrive with different cultures co-existing? This project is a celebration of African and Welsh culture, and how the arts can play its part in bringing people together, to create harmony and a sense of belonging.
