What these terms mean
- Disposable income
- Income remaining after direct taxes (income tax, PRSI, USC) and social contributions are deducted -- the amount actually available to spend or save. Source
- Persons at work
- People aged 15 and over who did some work for pay or profit in the reference week, counted by county of residence, not place of work.
Before you use these figures
- A modelled estimate, not a direct county survey: CSO does not survey household income at county level directly -- these figures are modelled estimates, allocating national and regional income data to counties using administrative and survey sources, and can be revised in a later release as those underlying sources are updated.
- Latest figure: 2024 — 2 years old: This dataset is published annual and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
- Not adjusted for population, 2010: This area's 2010 figure was 114,500, well outside the typical range for other areas that reported for 2010 (median about 41,100 across 25 other areas). This figure is a raw count, not adjusted for population — a larger area is expected to report a larger number regardless of anything unusual happening there. Not itself a sign of a data problem.
