The postcode RG6 1EU is in the LSOA area called 'Wokingham 006C', in the Bulmershe and Whitegates ward.

The geographical demographic data for RG6 1EU 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)
