Home ownership and renting

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

40,821 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners69.1% · 28,206 households
Private renters14.7% · 6,019 households
Social renters15.7% · 6,427 households
Other tenure0.4% · 169 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.

40,821 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.8% · 12,583 households
Families with dependent children27.0% · 11,012 households
Other single-family households39.2% · 15,996 households
Other household types3.0% · 1,230 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.

94,048 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot12.1% · 11,389 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.6% · 10,948 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act76.2% · 71,711 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

Last year I applied for a large CREATE grant to fund my forthcoming major exhibition Silvers of Space, an ambitious mixed and multi-media art exhibition at the prestigious Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea, in October 2026. Although the application was not successful, ACW officers and the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery encouraged me to reapply for a smaller CREATE grant to specifically fund a series of new photographic works (Matters of Presence) which will form an integral part of this major exhibition. Arising from current research, these new site-specific photographic works involve collaborative partners, specialist processes which incur additional costs which is why I am applying for this grant. The production of these works is hugely significant to my ongoing established practice; whilst the gallery is funding all other aspects of my exhibition and raising funds elsewhere, I would like to apply to ACW specifically for this key group of works.

126 more awards are available.
