Constituency Profile
The 2010 boundary changes reduced the constituency to an urban core, and it now literally comprises the two eponymous towns and little else.
The towns of Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa are adjoined, and although still distinct, they are now joined into a contiguous urban area. Both towns are relatively affluent, although there are pockets of deprivation in Leamington. Warwick, with its historic castle, is a popular tourist destination, while Leamington's economy is more industrial. Leamington is also more ethnically diverse (some five per cent of the constituency's population is Asian) and is home to many students of the University of Warwick.

Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or profile:
“Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Expecting rain, the profile of a day
Wears its soul like a hat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
