Open Postcode Geo is a postcode dataset and API optimised for geocoding applications. You can use Open Postcode Geo to geocode a dataset, geocode user input, and therefore build a proximity search.

Data is derived from the ONS (Office for National Statistics) postcode database and is free to use, subject to including attributions to ONS, OS (Ordinance Survey) and Royal Mail.

Information is also provided on a range of topics, including education, health, crime, business, etc.

Postcodes can be entered at area, district, sector, and unit level - see Postcode map for the geographical relationship between these.

All regional statistics at Eurostat refer to NUTS. However, some data collections use postcodes to reference the geographic location. Therefore, Eurostat has established a link between postcodes and NUTS level 3 codes in order to exploit information which originally is coded only by postcodes.

Various projects in Eurostat and other services of the Commission as well as the European Investment Bank have expressed their need for a link between postcodes and NUTS codes. The most important application at Eurostat is in transport statistics where the information is used to identify the flows of goods transport on roads. Another application is to geo-code address registers with the regional NUTS codes because postcodes are generally available as part of the address.

The TERCET NUTS-postal codes matching tables contain a lookup-list of European postal codes and their corresponding NUTS codes for the NUTS versions 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2021. There are matching tables for most of the EU, Candidate, EFTA and the United Kingdom. Eurostat has applied a number of quality assurance measures to ensure the best possible quality of the data including formatting checks, checks for completeness of postal codes and checks for spatial accuracy of the geocoding.

Additional tables containing distance matrixes for different modes of transport are provided.

Nevertheless, due to the very diverse and complex situation in Europe for postal codes data we cannot guarantee that all postal codes are included and have been correctly matched. Should you detect any errors, we would be grateful if you could notify them to us at ESTAT-USER-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu. The matching tables have been created with data and tools that allow for their free and public distribution for statistical and other non-commercial purposes.

More information on quality assurance and data sources can be found in the methodological notes.

UK Postcode-level Flood Risk Data (Rivers and Sea)

Identifying Risk Areas for Flood Protection and Planning

By IBM Watson AI XPRIZE - Environment [source]

About this dataset

Welcome to the UK Postcode-level Flood Risk Dataset. This open source dataset contains detailed information on flood risk levels by postcode in the UK, allowing you to map out potential problems and plan accordingly. With this dataset, you can assess each postcode's growing risk of floods due to human land use change and climate change-related weather patterns, as well as historical occurrences specific to each area.

We pull data from organizations including Risk of Flooding from Rivers & Sea, Open Postcode Geo, Royal Mail copyright & database right (2017), National Statistics data Crown copyright & database right (2017), and Environment Agency data licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The associated columns in this dataset are detailed below:

• Postcode - unique identifier for the postal code district where flood risk area is located
• FID - Unique ID for each location point
• PROB 4BAND - Flood risk level for a given postcode determined according to a four tier grade system (High, Medium, Low or Very Low)
• SUITABILITY - Suitability of location based on environment factors assessed according to OFRA criteria
• PUB_DATE - Date when data was published or last updated
• RISK FOR INSURANCE SOP - Standard Operating Procedure assigned according the Probability 4 band Risk rating
• Easting/Northing/Latitude/Longitude – Coordinates associated with a given postcode location

This data can be used by local authorities and agencies conducting flood mapping projects; insurers assessing assets at specified locations using an agreed set of methodology; advisors assessing locations for development purposes; forecasters aiding contingency planning; homeowners/commercial businesses seeking insurance cover for claims arising from flooding events etc. Ultimately we hope citizens around the world use this dataset as an important tool to predict areas exposedto potential flooding risks so that preventive measures may be taken beforehand!

How to use the dataset

This Kaggle dataset provides postcode-level flood risk data for the UK, including the flood risk level, coordinates, and other related information. This dataset is derived from Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea (provided by the British government) and Open Postcode Geo. It is licensed under the OGL 3.0 open government license.

In this data set you will find columns for each postcode as well as unique identifiers for a particular region (FID), an overall four band flood risk level (PROB_4BAND), whether a specific location or building is suitable or not (SUITABILITY), when it was published so you can be sure you are getting reliable up to date information (PUB_DATE), Easting/Northing which roughly measure distance eastwards/northwards of locations in meters(EASTING / NORTHING), LATITUDE & LONGITUDE that point to a precise location on google map & finally RISK_FOR_INSURANCE SOP which clearly distinguishes between sites which should generate warnings with regard to various kinds of insurance policies. This allows companies applying digital transformation solutions like hazard mapping solutions to show what risks certain locations present in relation to possible flood damage using digital technologies such as GIS systems or location intelligence tools etc., allowing organizations apply data science models or techniques like predictive analytics that may be used in decision making processes such as those taken by municipalities when signing off disaster management plans etc..

You can use this dataset for research purposes, share your findings on websites through charts & graphs to develop an educational understanding about possible hazards associated with areas that people inhabit around UK particularly at times when storm systems are localized heavily over specific regions making it most likely due causing major catastrophic event across British Isles . People living there can always access their respective postcodes very easily via our Flood Map by Postcode page here Flood Map.

UK Postcode-Level Flood Risk Data

Risk Level, Suitability, and Geographic Coordinates

By GetTheData [source]

About this dataset

The underlying source material has been compiled from open datasets including 'Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea', 'Open Postcode Geo' - all held under licence in agreement with Crown copyright & Database right (2017) & Royal Mail copyright & Database right (2017). The methodology used would combine each one of these datasets points into polygons with first identifying each risk area then mapping out corresponding postcode points within them which then could be tracked for its related longitude, latitude easting and northing positions. Through this comprehensive process you could get a better understanding regarding what individual postcodes are within high & low level flooding areas as well as find out from the latest publication date - when was it last issued? Ultimately this profound dataset comes in handy for prevention or even planning purposes informing citizens how serious some situations could become during extreme weather events such as floods or major storms allowing them to estimate potential risks before disaster ensues!

How to use the dataset

In order to effectively use this dataset there are several key pieces of terminology that you should be familiar with:

• FID – a unique identifier number associated with each record in the database.
• Postcode – an alphanumeric code used to identify a specific geographic region within the country; consists of two parts: an outward code (e.g., RG4) and an inward code (e.g., 8DN).
• PROB_4BAND – The flood risk level based on four categories represented in this field assigned by location - High, Medium, Low or Very Low; or None if outside of a high-risk area
• SUITABILITY – The suitability rating determined by location; either suitable or not suitable for development based on constraints for building in a floodplain
• Publication Date(PUB DATE) - The date that this information was made publicly available

• Risk For Insurance SOP (Risk_For_Insurance_SOP) - A ranking system from 1-5 used as guidance only when offering advice before taking out insurance cover over certain property located in certain very extreme area

  You will also need to be aware of some mathematical values associated with each postcode:

  • Easting – An eastward grid coordinate reference point corresponding to determining latitude/ longitude coordinates at specified points along an arc created by measuring distances between two other known points

  • Northing– A northward grid coordinate reference forming part of a geographical survey’s grid system

    Finally, here is how you can get started working with this amazing dataset:

    1. Download it onto your computer from Kaggle's website (www.kaggle/datasets/UK Postecode Level Flood Risk Data).
