A company is counted in a group if any of its filed SIC codes falls in that group, so a company can appear in more than one group and these figures are not additive — they are not a breakdown of a whole. A filed SIC code records the activity declared at incorporation, not proof of current trading.

Where these companies are registered
Registered-office address concentration, Newcastle upon TyneThe share of registrations at the single most-used registered-office address, the ten most-used, and all other addresses, for Newcastle upon Tyne. The two review thresholds (15% at one address, 40% across the top ten) are marked. No address is shown.15% single address40% top ten
Most common address — 3.7% Next nine addresses — 5.9% All other addresses — 90.4% 2,102 distinct addresses · 0.0% postcodes unmapped

Address concentration is published as a share and a distinct-address count only; no address is shown. A registered-office address is taken from the record at extraction and may differ from the address at the time of incorporation.

How this page defines this area
Boundary
Newcastle upon Tyne metropolitan district
Geography code
E08000021 (GSS), under geography version lr-geography-v1. Matching is by official code, never by text on the address.
Postcode mapping
The registered-office postcode is mapped to a local authority through the ONS Postcode Directory. Postcodes that cannot be mapped are counted separately, never reassigned to a neighbouring authority.
Not included
Newcastle upon Tyne (E08000021), not Newcastle-under-Lyme (E07000195) — two unrelated authorities 250km apart whose names collide. Gateshead, across the Tyne, is a separate authority and is not counted here.
What these figures do and do not show
Registered office
The address recorded at Companies House when the record was captured. It is not a verified trading location, an operational base or a founder's home.
Incorporation
A registration event. It is not evidence the company is trading, and it is not a business birth in the ONS sense.
Historical addresses
For backfilled months, the address is the one shown at extraction, which may differ from the address filed at incorporation.
SIC codes
Self-classified by the company at filing. A filed code is how the company described itself, not proof of current activity.
