Yes — parts of the ST4 district carry real flood risk: 32 of its 174 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The ST4 postcode district covers Hartshill Park & Stoke, Hanford, Newstead & Trentham, Boothen, Hanley Park, Joiner's Square & Shelton, close to Hanfor Bridge, Stoke-On-Trent, Bucknall, Meaford, and surrounding villages in parts of Staffordshire and England.
174 postcodes in the ST4 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 32 high, 29 medium, 113 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
