Irish Demographic Maps

Spot the universities!

Spot the universities!

Ummm... yes, but also proxy for Spot the Urban areas! Well, almost.

As well as professions and employment, the census divides people into six social classes:

Professional Workers
Managerial and Technical
Non-Manual
Skilled Manual
Semi-Skilled
Unskilled

Obviously, there is a lot of overlap with the previous ones but I shall begin posting the class maps as well as finishing the profession-groups maps from here on, starting with Class I - Professional Workers

Just for cheap comparisons, those maps from 2011 again:

The Referendums are often more revealing than the GEs....

Anyhoo... Very little deviation here.



Btw in the Republic in a hilarious irony orange is often the colour used for SF...

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Getting Census definitions - especially the precise distinctions between 'Class' and 'Socio-economic group of reference' - isn't the easiest. One thing to note is that "Non-manual" was approximately 66% Female, 34% Male and now here "Skilled Manual - Class IV" is approximately 66% male, 34% female.

Also, for those that aren't Al and are still paying attention ("He speaks to the air") might notice a particular area of the country which has constantly shown significant deviations from the rest throughout this series... anyone seen it yet? No prizes if you have.

Obvious continuing trends are obvious...

Now just before you have faith in the Census and everything you might want to look at this...



I'm not sure what this is shows other than "Urban areas are hard" although it is must certainly is not a wealth map... Read into it what you will.

Fantastic maps GF. Thanks very much. Very much enjoying the thread.


By the by, I've found the CSO to be pretty good at responding to email correspondence if you have any questions on things.

I think you mean to say that the rest of the country shows significant deviations from normalcy as defined by The Green Zone, home of Pat "Plank" Kenny, Ross O'Carroll-Kelly and KPMG Girl.

Dublin South rarely if ever deviates from Dunleary next door, so you can't possibly be talking about that.

Throw in Dublin South East and you've got The Green Zone. Home of our political, business and media classes and pretty much culturally, socially and economically disconnected from the rest of the country.

As a Dublin South-ian I apologize many times for KPMG Girl, Ross O'Carroll-Kerry, oh, and Lucinda Creighton and Shane Ross while we are at it too (Hey, it's a political forum).

Lucinda is actually Mayo; those roots keep showing.

Now, Olds...



Dublin North Central had the highest percentage, it must be due to the age of the housing, the difficulty of moving and the amount of young people moving out into further out suburbs or am I missing something?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

And Youngs, sort of...

Look at your owner-occupation map. That's your answer, right there.

I think that connects to my earlier comment on the age of housing (must finish those actually....)

Indeed it does.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

More old housing..

I don't have any comments but just wanted to let you know that I'm following this and it's really interesting.

These employment maps are o/c hilariously out of date as Unemployment has approximately trebled since the 2006 census but anyhoo....



Limerick West was the only constituency in which "Manufacturing" was higher than "Trade and Commerce" (actually it was only one where it was even close). Was.

It might not have changed as much as you think; AFAIK for this question if you're currently unemployed, you're assigned to your last employment.
