Does IG1 flood?

Yes — parts of the IG1 district carry real flood risk: 36 of its 88 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The IG1 postcode district covers Valentines, Ilford Town, Mayfield, Loxford, close to Seven Kings, Wanstead, Romford, and surrounding villages in parts of England and Essex.

88 postcodes in the IG1 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 36 high, 10 medium, 35 low, 7 very low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
