Why the caveats matter

Every figure carries the publisher's own caveats. Where a statistic is published for a wider area than the one you clicked, or where the publisher itself flags it as unreliable, the page says so rather than quietly rounding it off.

What these terms mean

Census year
A year CSO actually carried out a full population count — 2016 and 2022 for this breakdown. Not published for any other year. Source

Before you use these figures

  • Not available for this area: No figure is published at or above Kildare.
  • Census years only, not a continuous series: This is CSO's actual Census of Population count, taken once every five years (2016, 2022 for this breakdown) — not a modelled annual estimate. No figure is published for any year in between, and this will not update again until the next census.
  • Latest figure: 2022 — 4 years old: This dataset is published annually and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
