Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode.

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
| Period | In Carlton | Across the NG4 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to September 2026 | 0 of 599 (0%) | 14 of 481 (3%) |
| The 12 months to September 2025 | 24 of 795 (3%) | 69 of 684 (10%) |
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.

What broadband can you get in Carlton?
Ofcom reports on 1,059 of the 1,072 postcodes in Carlton. At 972 of them every home and business can get gigabit broadband.

Is Carlton at risk of flooding?
226 of the 1,072 postcodes in Carlton 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 1,286 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.
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.
