St Ives TR26 postcode area

Area evidence, not a full-postcode grade

The TR26 prefix covers multiple addresses and may cross council or warning-area boundaries. The 0–6 Data & Preparedness Score below counts documented sources for this district. It is separate from the conditional A–G disruption grade on a full-postcode report.

A–G grade for TR26: not assessed at district level. A complete postcode is needed to check live utility and road incidents and listed emergency-care distance. A grade appears only when all three inputs can be scored. How the full-postcode grade works.

Preparedness conclusion for TR26

The Cornwall density figure is shared with Newquay, while the local decisions differ.

Cornwall is 122 residents/km² below the UK average of 287 residents/km².

TR26 and TR7 link to the same council and can therefore show the same authority benchmark. That equality describes the geography used in the dataset. It does not say that both places have the same warning, travel options or circumstances on a particular day.

Local flood evidence for TR26

Recorded flooding

The Environment Agency's West Cornwall catchment plan records a severe St Ives flood in 2002 in which eight people needed emergency rescue. It is a town-level historical event, not a record for every TR26 building.

Official warning area

The Environment Agency coastal warning area from Land's End to Chapel Porth explicitly names St Ives, Carbis Bay and Lelant. Use its mapped boundary for a TR26 address; river and surface-water incidents may need separate checks.

How the nine indicators apply

A district prefix covers many full postcodes. This page has no live A–G disruption grade and does not assess war or nuclear risk. Enter a complete postcode above to see the nine-indicator breakdown for its returned location.

Can contribute to a full-postcode grade

Infrastructure: matched electricity or water incidents where covered. Medical resources: straight-line distance to a listed emergency department. Road access: nearby active TfL events where covered. Missing feeds are excluded, not scored as zero.

Can be shown, without a risk score

Wind direction and speed, one-hour rainfall forecast, and elevation with sampled local relief. These do not establish exposure to a particular incident or protection at a building.

No verified postcode-level assessment

Military targeting, building structure and designated shelter availability. A postcode prefix cannot supply these details.
