70 of the 346 postcodes now in use in Houghton Regis came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 83 of the 334 homes sold in Houghton Regis were newly built (25%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the LU5 district, 28%.

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.

Is Houghton Regis at risk of flooding?

18 of the 346 postcodes in Houghton Regis 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 78 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 18 of 346 postcodes High: 31Medium: 47Low: 125

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.
