COVID-19 Insight: Mobility During the Pandemic

Series 3 Staying Local Indicator Week ending 12 February 2021

CSO statistical release, 22 February 2021, 11am

Key points

An estimated 66.7% of the population stayed local (within 10k of home) during the week ending 12 February 2021 according to the Staying Local Indicator (SLI), a seven-day rolling average
All counties showed SLI decreases from week ending 05 February 2021 to week ending 12 February 2021, ranging from 0.6 percentage points (Waterford) to 2.9 percent-age points (Roscommon), indicating some relaxation of mobility behaviour
Dublin continues to be the county with the highest percentage of the population staying local (79.7%) on week ending 12 February 2021, reflecting its urbanised nature and access to services compared to other counties

This is the third of an insight series on mobility produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The Staying Local Indicator (SLI) provides daily estimated percentages of county populations that have stayed within 10km of home, averaged over the preceding seven days.

The Staying Local Indicator is based on statistical analysis of anonymised, aggregated, mobile phone activity records. Data from Three Ireland is collated from anonymised data sets at a macro scale, aggregated at Electoral Division and provided to the Department of Health. The scope of the arrangement between Three Ireland and the Department of Health is limited to informing the Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic only. This data feeds into wider selection of data used as part of the COVID-19 response.

Only aggregated statistical data is provided to the Department of Health. No personal data is provided.

The CSO receives and manages this data on behalf of the Department of Health. Only aggregate data is provided by Three Ireland and at no time do either the Department of Health or the Central Statistics Office have access to personal data or individuals’ movements. The outputs from this analysis provide important insights for decision makers and the public in the midst of the global pandemic.

County Variations

Propensity to stay within 10km of residence tends to differ by county, as movement is impacted by local circumstances and conditions, such as access to services and levels of urbanisation. For example, Dublin, with a high level of urbanisation, consistently shows the highest percentage of persons staying local, while Mayo and Roscommon, with low levels of urbanisation, have the lowest percentage of persons staying within 10km of home.
