Census 2011 Results

 

Publication of Area Profiles

 

The Central Statistics Office today published Census 2011 Area Profiles for 350 areas across the country. These profiles, which are short two-page reports, present an overview of census information for these areas in an easy to read format, and are aimed at both policy makers and the general public.  

 

The Area Profiles are available to view and download online on the CSO website at www.cso.ie/census/. Profiles are available for each of the 34 administrative counties, the 43 Dáil Constituencies (2007) and for 272 towns with a population of 1,000 and over.

 

Deirdre Cullen, Senior Statistician at the CSO: “This is a new report product from Census 2011, which we believe will be useful to both policy and decision-makers at local level, along with the general public and schoolchildren who are interested in finding information on their local area”.

 

The Area Profiles are available on the CSO website at www.cso.ie/census/. Each profile shows a map of the profile area and includes information on the age, sex and marital status of the population, as well as data on housing, living arrangements and household composition; other topics such as nationality, migration, the labour force and education are also covered. The reports also contain state comparisons and include colourful illustrative charts.

 

Ms. Cullen concluded “The new area profiles aim to ensure that census data is readily available to people about their local area. They focus on information which is of broad interest to decision makers and the public. The 2 page reports are an ideal quick reference for people interested in the population of their county, city or town.”

 

Note:

 

The Area Profiles for Dáil Constituencies relate to the constituencies as defined by the 2007 boundary review and used in the last general election. It is hoped to add Area Profiles for the new constituencies from the recent boundary review before the end of June.
