Singapore District Numbering System
History of Singapore Districts
The derivation of Singapore Old District Numbering system came about in the 1950s as the initial postal code system. Currently, the postal code is using a 6-digit system which was enhanced in 1995 from a 4-digit system which was implemented in 1983. The main purposes were to make the sorting and conveyance of mail much less demanding.
Usage of Singapore Old District System
Today, this district numbering system is still being used primarily by people dealing in real estate including property agents, buyers, sellers and use quite widely to differentiate the ‘wealth weight’ of each area. Not surprisingly, two side by side district (such as for District 10 and 11), would host different price structure for properties in the respective district. District 10 is perceived to be more affluent than District 11, even though it could be just a small road dividing both districts.
Some districts are more popular than the others and even infer the status of people who bought in a particular district or people who stay in a particular district. For instance, District 15 people are from the East of Singapore, would like to be at the higher class who love the beach. District 9 and 10 residents are usually regarded as the richer group of people in Singapore.
