Ox12

OX12 is a postcode district within the Oxford postcode area (OX) in England. It is used by the British Royal Mail for mail routing and delivery and is commonly used in navigation, demographics, and place-based services to identify a specific geographic area. Postcode districts like OX12 are part of the broader postal code system introduced in the mid-20th century to improve mail efficiency and geographic referencing.

The exact boundaries of OX12 are defined by the Royal Mail's Postcode Address File and may cross multiple civil parishes and local communities within Oxfordshire. The district includes a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and rural surroundings. Local governance is handled by the appropriate Oxfordshire authorities as determined by the district’s geographic boundaries.

Outside of postal use, OX12 may appear as a generic alphanumeric identifier in various contexts, such as maps, datasets, or inventory systems. It is not uncommon for such codes to be repurposed as model numbers or internal designations in software or industry, though these uses are separate from the postcode assignment.
