8 of the 73 postcodes now in use in Embsay came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 3 of the 44 homes sold in Embsay were newly built (7%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the BD23 district, 11%.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 4 of 73 postcodes High: 7Medium: 1Low: 8

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.

Each crime is moved to the nearest of a fixed list of map points, each over a street centre, a public place or a commercial premises, chosen so that every point covers at least eight addresses or none. A mile is a wide circle: in a town it takes in the centre and its shops, where much crime is recorded.
