// FAQ
Common questions
How are postcode polygons built?
They are derived from AddressBase address points using a Voronoi-style approach - the polygon for postcode XYZ is the area closest to its addresses.
Are polygons stable across releases?
They evolve as addresses are added or retired. We can supply diff files alongside.
Can we get just one region?
Yes - regional and bespoke clips are available.
