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 Otley at risk of flooding?

64 of the 385 postcodes in Otley 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 406 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 64 of 385 postcodes High: 274Medium: 132Low: 405

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.

Police.uk says its locations "always represent the approximate location of a crime". 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.
