Does SG4 flood?

Yes — parts of the SG4 district carry real flood risk: 22 of its 60 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The SG4 postcode district covers Hitchin Walsworth, Graveley, St Ippolyts & Wymondley, Hitchin Bearton, Hitchin Highbury, close to Whitwell, Walkern, Arlesey, and surrounding villages in parts of Central Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

60 postcodes in the SG4 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 22 high, 13 medium, 25 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
