How Waterford compares with the other counties
- Social benefits per person — Co. Waterford: ranked 12th of 26 (€8,304).
A rank is a position among the counties on one measure, in the latest figures. It is not a verdict on how well an area is doing.
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 annually and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
