Located on the South Side of Glasgow, the ward includes Pollokshields itself as well as Crossmyloof, Strathbungo and the western part of Shawlands. The 2017 expansion took in Bellahouston, Craigton and Dumbreck from the Govan ward.

The ethnic makeup of the expanded Pollokshields ward using the 2011 census population statistics was:

  • 69.3% White Scottish / British / Irish / Other
  • 26.9% Asian (Mainly Pakistani)
  • 2% Black (Mainly African)
  • 1.6% Mixed / Other Ethnic Group

This makes it one of the most ethnically diverse wards in Glasgow.
