However, the area surrounding LL55 3BT, has a female population slightly higher than UK average, with 52.1% of residents being female. Several factors can contribute to this. Women generally live longer than men, resulting in a higher proportion of women in neighborhoods with significant elderly populations.

Consequently, these areas often have a higher number of females.
