Portsmouth North
The northern half of the city — Portsea Island north of roughly Fratton, plus Cosham, Paulsgrove, Drayton and Farlington on the mainland side.
Measured for this area
Figures that are genuinely published at this geography, not apportioned from a wider one.

Full profile, voting record and contact details →This half of the city, in census data
Built by combining the 7 wards in this seat, weighted by population — not by splitting a city figure in half.
Portsmouth North wards compared
Deprived on at least two of employment, education, health and housing at once — the census measure of compounded hardship rather than a single difficulty.
What this data is, and what it is not
Census 2021 was taken on 21 March 2021, during the third national lockdown. Student and workplace populations were displaced, and the figures do not update between censuses. Read them as a map of how wards differ from each other, not as this year's conditions.
Percentages are a published count divided by the published total for the same table and ward. The counts are ONS; the division is ours.

- ONS Census 2021 via NOMIS — TS052 occupancy rating for bedrooms

- ONS Census 2021 via NOMIS — TS067 highest level of qualification
- ONS Census 2021 via NOMIS — TS045 car or van availability
Projects in this area
No official source publishes projects by Westminster constituency. These are assigned by where each site physically sits, which is our judgement, not a published classification.
Only published for Portsmouth as a whole
These are not broken down to constituency level by the bodies that publish them. Splitting a city-wide figure between the two seats would produce a number that looks local but has not been measured, so it is not done here.
- •Employment, earnings, house prices and rents — published for Portsmouth as a whole only.
- •Crime rates — published by police force area and local authority, not by constituency.
- •Health outcomes including life expectancy — published at local authority level.
- •School attainment and absence — published by local authority and by individual school, not by constituency.
Ward-to-constituency allocation follows the current (2024) Westminster boundaries. Portsmouth North and Portsmouth South did not change shape in the 2023 boundary review. Where a statistic exists only for Portsmouth as a whole, that is stated rather than split across the two seats — apportioning an authority-level figure by population would produce a number that looks local but is not measured.
