Each mark is a postcode's centre point as ONS gives it, not a building. Press one to see its postcode and open its page. New since 2020 means it came into use in January 2020 or later. No boundary is drawn. Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode. Names in italics are council wards: we hold no town or village names here.
