Postcode Definition
The Full Postcode is the Postcode as most people would generally know and love it as written on envelopes for mailing purposes. (e.g. UB7 0EB). There are approximately 1.7 million Full Postcodes covering the UK. Formerly a Postcode could contain between 1 and over 300 addresses.
This is now restricted to a maximum of 100 although the average number of addresses per Postcode is 15. Formerly a Postcode could cover addresses on up to 12 Thoroughfares. This is now restricted to 1 although some historic Postcodes may contain more.
Electoral Ward and District Codes & Names
Administrative codes are those used by Office for National Statistics (ONS). Allocation of Local Government codes to Postcode is by point-in-polygon comparison against Boundary-Line data, excluding Northern Ireland. This can result in up to 8% of the file supplied by Ordnance Survey missing the relevant Ward codes.
The Electoral Ward code is the new 9 character code for England, Wales and Scotland which uniquely identifies each Electoral Ward.
