The NG5 postcode district covers Basford, Sherwood, Woodthorpe, Berridge, close to Nottingham, Bulwell, Lenton, and surrounding villages in parts of Nottinghamshire and East Midlands.

32 postcodes in the NG5 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 20 high, 6 medium, 6 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
