In North Belfast, seats in the Assembly election have been typically evenly split between unionist and nationalist candidates.
The constituency, one to watch on May 5, spreads from Newtownabbey to the New Lodge, and in the 2019 Westminster election, the DUP's Nigel Dodds lost the seat he held for 18 years to Sinn Féin's John Finucane.
The 2011 census shows that 48.66% of those living in North Belfast said they identified as British, 29.88% identified as Irish, and 27.28% said they identified as Northern Irish.
