Now I’m curious about the ratio of houses numbered 13 and 12a (then 14 with no 13) across the UK.

Generally, we have odd on one side and even on the other, so this isn't likely.

The odds and evens are usually also allocated sequentially and independently, so it can be incredibly annoying when you're looking at the numbers on the wrong side of the road thinking you're getting close when you're actually walking away from the house because the numbers are much higher or lower on the other side.

Our street just went from 11 to 15.
