Denbighshire, Ruthin
Heat risk is Lower, with a median (50th percentile) of 10 days above 25°C per year, averaged over the 2021-2040 period under the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario (Met Office UKCP18). Air quality is Low at PM2.5 4.9 μg/m³, within the WHO annual guideline of 5 μg/m³ (Defra UK-AIR). Ground conditions are Low risk, with Calcareous Rocks And Mudstone geology; shrink-swell risk is classed as improbable (BGS GeoClimate).
An official flood-risk band is not available for CH7 4BZ in the current dataset releases used by LocalRisk. This is a data-coverage gap rather than a low-risk rating. For a property-level reading, Natural Resources Wales' Flood Risk Assessment Wales map covers every address in Wales.
Air quality at CH7 4BZ is rated Low, based on Defra UK-AIR annual mean PM2.5 data. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) comes primarily from road traffic, industry, and domestic burning. Long-term exposure above the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³ is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular health risks. Buyers and renters in higher air quality risk areas may wish to consider whether the property is near busy roads or industrial sources.
British Geological Survey data classes the underlying soil at CH7 4BZ as Calcareous Rocks And Mudstone, with shrink-swell hazard rated improbable (subsidence risk band: Low). A structural survey is the reliable way to assess ground conditions for a specific property.
This LocalRisk report for CH7 4BZ draws on four official UK open data sources: Natural Resources Wales flood mapping, Met Office UKCP18 climate projections, Defra UK-AIR PM2.5 monitoring, and British Geological Survey GeoClimate subsidence mapping. Risk ratings are a screening tool, complementing - not replacing - the searches and surveys ordered as part of a property transaction. Data covers Denbighshire and is updated as new official datasets are published.
Denbighshire spans upland hills, river valleys and market towns and experiences cool, wet winters and mild summers, shaped by elevation and Atlantic-influenced weather.
Climate risk can change street by street, so it is worth checking neighbouring postcodes too. The full risk report for CH7 1AA is at localrisk.co.uk/postcode/CH71AA, and you can compare CH7 4BZ side by side with any UK postcode at localrisk.co.uk/compare.
