Area Information for Newport, Wales, NPT 7GE

NPT postcodes were some of the earliest introduced by the GPO (Royal Mail), in the late 1960's into the early 1970's. Originally central Newport was assigned the prefix NPT, with surrounding areas getting NP1-NP8. When the postcodes format was standardised, Newport's NPT code needed to be recoded as two digits and a number, so most if not all of the NPT postcodes were re-coded as the NP9 area. This postcode in Newport is in Wales. The postcode is within the St Julians ward/electoral division, which is in the UK Parliamentary Constituency of Newport East.

About the Demographic Information

The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Newport, Wales, NPT 7GE is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. They are performed once every 10 years. Our website shows 2021 data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. For Scotland, 2022 data is shown (the Scottish census was performed a year later than the rest of the UK). Please note: census information may include figures for adjacent streets and postcodes. The figures are therefore representative of the local area, not a specific street address or row of houses.

The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. You can see the area covered by the census statistics by clicking "Show Census Area Covered" below the map above.

The information we provide on the website is done so without charge. However, if you wish to use this data on other websites, or in any other public medium should consult our data sources page for information on how you should correctly attribute the information.
