Pembroke West By the numbers
A traditional Opposition stronghold, Jeanne Atherden should be the front runner for this seat ahead of her PLP rival Alvin Ingham.The ruling party has lost this particular constituency in the previous two elections in landslide numbers, with Shaun Crockwell well ahead of Walton Brown 505 to 361 in 2007.In 2003, Jahmal Simmons beat Calvin Smith 544 to 303.It gained 49 voters from district 20, another Opposition stronghold, when the boundaries were redrawn.The average income per household is slightly lower than that of the national median, while the percentage of white vote is higher than the national average and black vote much less than rest of the nation.Generally a good turnout on election day, OBA will look to get constituency 19 under their belt early on.Pembroke WestResults:2003Jahmal Simmons (UBP) 544 (61.23 percent)Calvin Smith (PLP) 303 (35.77 percent)Registered voters: 1,117Turnout: 849 (76 percent)2007Shaun Crockwell (UBP) 505 (57.98 percent)Walton Brown (PLP) 361 (41.45 precent)Registered voters: 1,150Turnout:871 (63.89 percent)RaceNational Pembroke WestBlack (63 percent) (48 percent)White (25 percent) (38 percent)Mixed (seven percent) (eight percent)Asian (0.18 percent) (0.19 percent)Other Races (three percent) (three percent)Not Stated (0.6 percent) (0.57 percent)Total Household IncomeNational Pembroke WestUnder $36000 (11 percent) (12 percent)$36000+ (20 percent) (20 percent)$72000+ (19 percent) (19 percent)$108000+ (15 percent) (16 percent)$144000+ (35 percent) (33 percent)Age National Pembroke West16-34 27 percent 24 percent35-44 16 percent 15 percent45-54 21 percent 21 percent55-64 17 percent 19 percent65+ 20 percent 21 percentConstituency median household income $103,191Island-wide median household income $106,389Some total percentages may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
