Does WS2 flood?

The WS2 postcode district covers Birchills Leamore, St Matthew's, Pleck, Willenhall South, close to Park Hill, Walsall, Sandwell Valley, and surrounding villages in parts of West Midlands and Staffordshire.

42 postcodes in the WS2 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 6 high, 12 medium, 24 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
