Products

16. For existing customers of its postcode products, National Records of Scotland will issue:

  • a postcode index showing for each postcode the code for the settlement, if any, to which it has been assigned; and
  • a settlement index showing, for each settlement, the settlement code and name and number of addresses in the settlement.

The contents of these indexes were decided before the methodology included the calculation of population. Population figures may be included in future releases.
