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:
“My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
