Summary

Code-Point® precisely locates 1.7 million postcode units in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Each unit contains an average of 15 adjoining addresses.

For direct marketers, Code-Point® helps you maximise your response rates by targeting customers in the best postcodes for your offering.

Code-Point is a powerful insights tool. It shows up geographical hot-spots so you can target local action on, for example, petty crime or disease outbreaks.

We give you the split between residential and commercial addresses in each postcode. This lets you work out which areas to target for services like business broadband.

Code-Point provides a precise geographical location for each postcode unit in the United Kingdom. It also contains additional information, for example, NHS region and area codes, local government county, district and ward codes, PO boxes and the total number of addresses, both domestic and non-domestic, in each postcode unit. Code-Point includes Gridlink® data. Gridlink is a consortium initiative involving a number of government agencies that have cooperated to improve the consistency and quality of spatially referenced, postcode-based data.
