A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

2 of the 341 postcodes in Birstall have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 4 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 2 of 341 postcodes High: 2Medium: 2Low: 4

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
