BH13

BH13 is a postcode district within the BH (Bournemouth) postcode area of the United Kingdom. It is used by Royal Mail for mail delivery and serves as a geographic reference in planning, statistics, and navigation. The district is located in the southern part of Dorset, near the towns of Bournemouth and Poole, and falls within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council area, a unitary authority established in 2019.

The BH13 district is predominantly residential, with a mix of housing, local shops, schools, and green spaces that serve nearby communities. As with many postcode districts, the exact boundaries are defined for postal routing but may not perfectly align with administrative boundaries, so map delineations can vary slightly between datasets.

Governance and services for BH13 are provided through the broader BCP Council framework, along with partner public services such as schooling, healthcare, and policing. Transportation in and around the district is supported by local bus services and road connections to surrounding urban centers, contributing to commuting and access to amenities in Bournemouth and Poole.

In usage, BH13 helps with address specification, mail delivery, and regional planning, and it appears in demographic and market data as a defined geographic unit. For related information, see the BH postcode area and Dorset’s local government structure.
