LL13 7AE is an up-and-coming urban area on Machine Square, 0.4km from Huntroyde Ave in Wrexham. Administratively it sits within Offa ward and the Wrexham constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. The daytime character shifts — traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. The 37 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 77% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. Employment levels are high (48% in full-time work) — a well-connected, economically active community.

Safety: Crime rates are high (158 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £98k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
