Does PR2 9RR flood?

Fulwood, Lancashire

Up to High likelihood

Properties in PR2 9RR sit in the Environment Agency's High flood-likelihood band (worst property). The band is the worst found in the postcode — it describes the land around properties (defence-adjusted, rivers & sea), not any single address, and not today's conditions.

Likelihood band	Annual chance	Properties	Of which homes
High	greater than 3.3%	6	6
Medium	1% – 3.3%	1	1
Low	0.1% – 1%	5	5
Very low	below 0.1%	0	0

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.
