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."[3] This area, however, was only added to the seat in 1983, following the abolition of the Birmingham Handsworth constituency.
The City of Birmingham wards of: Aston; Birchfield; Handsworth; Handsworth Wood; Holyhead; Lozells; Oscott (polling districts OSC1, OSC2, OSC3 and OSC6); Perry Barr.[6]
After adjusting the boundaries to take into account the revised ward structure in the City of Birmingham with effect from May 2018[7], the Aston ward will be transferred in from Birmingham Ladywood and the majority of the Oscott ward will be transferred to Birmingham Erdington.
