Combining the whole postcode region, 30% of people in IP30 are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of IP30 are wealthier - or higher class - than average, but it can be an indication that the area may be prospering and desirable to live in.


IP30 is a postcode in the Ipswich district of Suffolk, England. It is a non-geographic postcode used by Royal Mail as an efficient sorting and delivery tool, so does not necessarily correlate with a particular area or district.

IP30 postcodes are typically used when a sender does not wish to disclose the exact location of the person or place they are sending a post to, for example when sending an email or packages or letters for business purposes.

The postcode district is roughly coterminous with, but does not fully cover, the market towns of Mid-Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds, Eye, Haverhill and the village of Coddenham. This includes the civil parishes of Barking and Somersham, Bacton, Barnham, Battisford, Baylham, Claydon, Felsham, Finningham, Gipping, Hitcham, Helmingham and Thorndon, Hoxne, Kelsale cum Carlton, Somersham, Stonham, and Wormingford.

The IP30 postcode area is considered to be one of the most desirable areas of Ipswich due to its close proximity to the city centre and excellent travel connections. It is generally considered to be a safe and quiet neighbourhood, with some of the highest house prices in Ipswich due to its desirable location.

The IP30 postcode area also covers some of the best schools and nurseries in the area, with easy access to a variety of leisure and recreational activity options being a big draw for families looking for a place to settle down. It is also popular with commuters, due to its location next to the A14, which links up with the M25 motorway.

The area also has a wealth of restaurants, shops, pubs, and other amenities, making it an attractive area for people looking for the best of both worlds: a peaceful and quiet area to live, but with plenty of amenities nearby. It is also home to a variety of green spaces, including several parks and open spaces, as well as being close to the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
