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 Ripon?

24 of the 473 postcodes now in use in Ripon came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 10 of the 258 homes sold in Ripon were newly built (4%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the HG4 district, 7%.

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 Ripon at risk of flooding?

87 of the 473 postcodes in Ripon 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 166 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 87 of 473 postcodes High: 23Medium: 143Low: 1,234Very low: 96

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.
