Contents

Constituency profile

The constituency is in the form of a ring surrounding the York Central constituency, and thus includes the outer areas of York itself and the surrounding rural areas. The Army's Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Strensall, and the former RAF Elvington and RAF Rufforth lie in the constituency, as does the University of York. [2] Residents' health and wealth are around average for the UK. [3] The area is currently ranked in the top 10 least deprived constituencies in the UK. [4]

Boundaries

The Boundary Commission for England reviewed parliamentary constituencies between 2000 and 2007. In York, taking into consideration that York had been enlarged and become a unitary authority in 1996, the Commission settled on two constituencies, one representing the urban constituency and one representing the rural constituency, named York Central and York Outer. [5]

2010–2024: The city of York wards of: Bishopthorpe; Copmanthorpe; Dringhouses and Woodthorpe; Fulford and Heslington; Haxby and Wigginton; Heworth Without; Hull Road (part); Huntington and New Earswick; Rural West York; Osbaldwick and Derwent; Rawcliffe and Clifton Without; Strensall; and Wheldrake. [6]

2024–present: Same as before but with changed ward boundaries.
