Boundaries expanded following re-organisation of local authorities and wards in Dorset, bringing the electorate within the permitted range.

This area includes two tourist towns, namely Wimborne Minster and Wareham, the latter at one end of Poole Harbour. Income levels are close to the national average, taking into account the high proportion of pensioners living across the area.{{cite web|url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk|title=Local statistics | website=Office for National Statistics}} and levels of rented{{cite web|url=http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html |title=2011 census interactive maps |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160129132219/http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html |archive-date=2016-01-29 }} and social housing are below the national average, particularly levels seen in cities.
