7 of the 441 postcodes now in use in Waltham Abbey came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 0 of the 232 homes sold in Waltham Abbey were newly built (0%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the EN9 district, Under 1%.

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.

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.
