    Geocode UK Postcodes & Identify Geographical Hierarchies

    By GetTheData [source]

    About this dataset

    This Open Postcode Geo dataset contains a wealth of information about UK postcodes. For each postcode, there are several geospace attributes you can use to refine your analysis such as latitude, longitude, easting and northing. Moreover, the positional quality indicator provides a range of accuracy levels for each geospace attribute.

    In addition to positioning data, this dataset has been derived from the Office for National Statistics' Postcode Directory which gives users extra insights into postcodes such as postcode areas, districts and sectors — enabling them to accurately group records into geographic hierarchies: perfect for mapping applications and statistical analysis!

    And with data coming from multiple sources — The Crown Copyright & Database Right (2016), Royal Mail Copyright & Database Right (2016) & ONS ™ - users can be assured that Open Postcode Geo provides accurate and up-to-date results that cover terminated archives as well as smaller user-generated postcodes! All released under the UK Government's Open Government Licence v3; with attribution required pursuant to ONS Licences info...

    Description

    Open Flood Risk by Postcode is derived from the Environment Agency's Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea which allocates a risk level to areas in England, UK. Using postcode data from Open Postcode Geo, each English postcode is placed in its risk area, allowing a flood risk level to be allocated to a postcode.

    Fields

    • postcode
    • FID
    • PROB_4BAND
    • SUITABILITY
    • PUB_DATE
    • RISK_FOR_INSURANCE_SOP
    • easting
    • northing
    • latitude
    • longitude

    PROB_4BAND is the flood risk level, and can be one of the folowing:

    • High
    • Medium
    • Low
    • Very Low
    • None

    Note that where a postcode is outside a flood risk area, some of the column values will be NULL, represented as \N in this file.

    Description

    Open Flood Risk by Postcode

    English postcodes and the Environment Agency's risk level for the area that postcode falls within.

    Fields

    • postcode
    • FID
    • PROB_4BAND
    • SUITABILITY
    • PUB_DATE
    • RISK_FOR_INSURANCE_SOP
    • easting
    • northing
    • latitude
    • longitude

    Risk levels

    Possible values for PROB_4BAND

    • High
    • Medium
    • Low
    • Very Low
    • None

    Methodology

    The position of the postcode is determined using a point location from Open Postcode Geo. This point location places the postcode in the corresponding area within Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea and the risk level (PROB_4BAND) is linked to the postcode. This allows flood risk level to be looked up by postcode.

    Note that properties within the postcode may have a slightly different point location and thus be located in a different area with a different risk level. Generally speaking the point location of the postcode is determined by the point location of the centremost property in that postcode.

    Documentation

    Full documentation can be found on the Open Flood Risk by Postcode homepage.

    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.

    Description

    September 2017 OS Code-Point Open for Greater London and London boroughs are downloadable via the links below.

    OS Code-Point Open provides a National Grid coodinate for a point within each postcode unit (e.g. SE1 2AA) in Great Britain.There are approximately 1.6 million postcode units in the UK and each contains an average of 15 adjoining addresses. It also contains a number of columns of attributes which provide information about each postcode unit, including local authority area codes down to ward level and National Health Service.

    The geographic extent of the Code-Point dataset below has been limited to the Greater London area as well as extracts for the City of London and the 32 London boroughs individually. In addition to conventional CSV file format, the dataset is also available as ESRI shapefile format (.shp) for ease of use with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for visualisation and further analysis.

    Key attributes: postcode unit, easting, northing, NHS health authority code and administrative codes

    Coverage: Greater London and 33 individual London borough.

    Format: Comma separated values (.csv) & Esri shapefile (.shp)

    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).

          2

    Research Ideas

    • Creating a custom application that provides users with real-time flood risk and safety advice based on postcode.
    • Developing a map-based interface that integrates flood risk levels directly into Google Maps to assist people in planning trips and relocating in safer areas.
    • Developing an app that tracks the geographically accurate position of every property within each postcode, allowing for better risk assessment for businesses and insurers

    This file contains the National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL) for the United Kingdom as at November 2025 in Comma Separated Variable (CSV) and ASCII text (TXT) formats. To download the zip file click the Download button. The NSPL relates both current and terminated postcodes to a range of current statutory geographies via ‘best-fit’ allocation from the 2021 Census Output Areas (national parks and Workplace Zones are exempt from ‘best-fit’ and use ‘exact-fit’ allocations) for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It supports the production of area-based statistics from postcoded data. The NSPL is produced by ONS Geography, who provide geographic support to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and geographic services used by other organisations. The NSPL is issued quarterly.

    Description

    This data set lists Calderdale Medium Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs), Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs), Census Output Areas (COAs), Built Up Areas (BUAs), Built up area sub-divisions (BUASDs) and their constituent postcodes. It is based on the National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL) facility, on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Geoportal, and is updated every three months. Postcodes allocated by the NSPL dataset may differ from those allocated by the ONS Postcode directory as described in A Guide to ONS Geography Postcode Products. MSOAs, LSOAs, COAs, BUAs, BUASDs have been defined by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to assist with reporting statistical information for small geographic areas. They were last updated following the 2021 National Census. ONS has linked these statistical geographic terms to electoral wards and to postcodes through the NSPL data set. The original data source is the UK ONS and contains National Statistics data © Crown copyright and database right 2025, and are subject to the Open Government Licence and the Ordnance Survey OpenData Licence . Included are also the latest indices of deprivation figures for Calderdale which are calculated by central government every four to six years.
