The postcode BN8 4DL is in the LSOA area called 'Lewes 001C', in the Chailey and Wivelsfield ward.

The geographical demographic data for BN8 4DL has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
