Gender

In the UK, the overall gender distribution is approximately 49% male and 51% female. However, the area surrounding HU8 7SY, has a female population slightly higher than UK average, with 52.4% of residents being female. Several factors can contribute to this.

A higher female population can also be found in areas with industries that employ more women, such as healthcare, education, and retail.
