Sheffield South East (UK Parliament constituency)

The constituency consists of Census Output Areas of local government districts with a working population whose income is close to or slightly below the national average, and close to average reliance upon social housing.[http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk 2001 Census] At the end of 2012, the unemployment rate in the constituency stood as 4.4% of the population claiming jobseekers' allowance (see table).[https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics Unemployment claimants by constituency] The Guardian

The district contributing to the seat has a medium 33% of its population without a car.{{#tag:ref|This falls within the centrally coloured banding for metropolitan areas|group= n}} A medium 24.3% of the city's population are without qualifications, a high 15.8% of the population with level 3 qualifications and a medium 25.7% with level 4 qualifications or above. In terms of tenure a relatively low 58.3% of homes are owned outright or on a mortgage by occupants as at the 2011 census across the district.[http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html 2011 census interactive maps] {{webarchive|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|date=2016-01-29}}

This seat succeeded Sheffield Attercliffe (represented by the Labour MP Clive Betts since 1992) following a minor change{{#tag:ref|The only change being the loss in 2010 of the shared part of the Richmond, South Yorkshire ward to the Sheffield Heeley constintuency.|group= n}} recommended by the Boundary Commission for England for the 2010 general election and accepted by Parliament.

Including its predecessor, Sheffield Attercliffe, Labour majorities from 1935 until 2019 were substantial, making it one of the party's safe seats. In 2010, the closest runner-up was the Liberal Democrat candidate. In 2015, UKIP came second, with nearly 22% of the vote, beating both the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats (the Liberal Democrat vote declining by 18%). In 2019, a collapse in the Labour vote reduced the party's majority to a little over 4,000 votes, making it a marginal seat between them and the Conservative Party. In 2024, the Conservative vote collapsed in turn, and the Labour majority increased back up to nearly 12,500. This was helped by Reform UK not putting up a candidate in this, or any other Sheffield seat.
