Electoral Calculus categorises the seat as being part of the “Somewheres” demographic, those who have socially conservative views and economically soft left views, alongside strong support for
Brexit. For reference, the site gives a notional result of 74% for those who voted to leave the EU back in 2016, which is the 3rd highest in the country. In addition to this, around 64% of the constituency is
deprived, in terms of employment, income and education, which is considerably higher than the national average of 52% deprivation, according to the site. For general statistics, the average age is 48.1, at least 72% of the local population owns a car, whilst 53% own a home, and the gross household income is £33,449, the average house price is £150,842, which is under half the national average. The constituency is significantly deprived, with the deprivation scores of the individual towns of Tipton and Wednesbury placing them both within the 20% most deprived areas in England. The constituency is almost entirely within the corridor of severe deprivation that runs through the
West Midlands conurbation. == Elections ==
