2010-2024: Plymouth Moor View covers the northern part of Plymouth. The electoral wards which make up the constituency are Budshead, Eggbuckland, Ham, Honicknowle, Moor View, St Budeaux and Southway.[3]

The remaining wards from the City of Plymouth are in the constituencies of Plymouth Sutton and Devonport and South West Devon.

2024-present: The composition of the constituency from the 2024 United Kingdom general election will be expanded slightly in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range by adding north-western parts of the City of Plymouth ward of Peverell - namely polling districts KC and KD - to be transferred from Plymouth Sutton and Devonport.[5]
