Average score flood in Hackney, England, United Kingdom

A rating from 0 to 10 of how often the area around a property floods, where higher numbers mean the surrounding area floods less often. It reflects the area, not the individual home.

A low score does not always mean this home will flood. It might sit on higher ground and stay dry, but a nearby flood plain can still affect it a great deal, because flooding damages surrounding roads, utilities, and services and drags on value and insurance across the whole area. Use a low score as a prompt to look into whether this particular home is genuinely at risk.

• 0-2: Very high flood exposure - The surrounding area floods readily
• 3-4: High flood exposure - The area sees significant flooding
• 5-6: Moderate flood safety - Some flood-prone conditions nearby
• 7-8: High flood safety - The area floods only rarely
• 9-10: Very high flood safety - The surrounding area is very unlikely to flood
