The ward covers an area of west Birmingham, including the districts of Edgbaston and parts of Ladywood. It also covers areas around the University Hospital.

Once again to balance the electorate, the area north of the Hagley Road close to the city boundary at Bearwood, and the area of northern Harborne which had been acquired in 1950 were transferred to Harborne ward.
The Edgbaston ward is currently represented by two Conservative Councillors; Deirdre Alden (1999-), and Matt Bennett (2015-).
