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. A dashed outline shows where 5 or more lie within 150 metres of each other. It is not a boundary, and no boundary is drawn. Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode.

Are new homes being built in Buckingham?

33 of the 432 postcodes now in use in Buckingham came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 5 of the 244 homes sold in Buckingham were newly built (2%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the MK18 district, 14%.

The newest postcodes

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.

New homes among the homes sold

The 12 months to August 2026 1 of 172 (Under 1%) 18 of 377 (5%)
The 12 months to August 2025 5 of 244 (2%) 87 of 612 (14%)

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Buckingham at risk of flooding?

39 of the 432 postcodes in Buckingham 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 109 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 39 of 432 postcodes High: 59Medium: 50Low: 145Very low: 14

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.

A mile is a wide circle: in a town it takes in the centre and its shops, where much crime is recorded.
