Research has shown that some residents of Bradford identify strongly with their postcode area. The map shows the postcodes that are contained within the bounds of the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council.

Postcode Districts	Notes
BD	The entirety of BD19 and BD24 codes (as well as the non-geographical BD postcode districts) are excluded from this layout.
LS	There is a significant area of Bradford MDC which is covered by the LS29 postcode. Additionally, some LS19, LS20 and LS28 postcodes are in the covered.
HD and HX	The southern edges of the local authority area also include small parts of HD and HX postcodes.

The hexmap shows the wards in the Bradford Council local authority area. Hexmaps are useful as they present all elements as similarly sized, and can avoid providing a skewed view of the data.
