Pemberton ward lies in the northern part of Wigan, primarily a residential area characterised by terraced housing and local shopping parades along main routes like Ormskirk Road. The ward includes several primary schools and community centres, serving its settled population.

A notable local feature is the presence of the former Pemberton Colliery sites, now largely reclaimed as green space, reflecting the area's industrial past. The ward is bordered by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to the south, providing a walking route. Public transport connections to Wigan town centre are a key aspect of daily life for many residents.
