Constituency profile
UK Polling Report stated in 2015: "Perry Barr and parts of Handsworth Wood are relatively affluent and Oscott is a large, mostly white, inter-war housing development. The most notorious part of the seat is Handsworth, a tough, multi-ethnic, inner-city area."[6] This area, however, was only added to the seat in 1983, following the abolition of the Birmingham Handsworth constituency.
