Deprivation index — Westmeath
-1.4, latest 2022.
This is a price INDEX, not an average price. A value of 165 means prices are 65% above the index's base year, 2015 (not rebased since), set to 100, not that a typical home costs €165. Ranked by index value, which reflects relative price change since the base period, not which area has cheaper or more expensive homes. Ireland's and the UK's own indices use different base periods (2015 for Ireland, January 2023 for the UK) -- their raw index values are not directly comparable to each other, only to their own history.

Before you use these figures
- Relative, not absolute: A relative index, centred near zero across Ireland's electoral divisions in 2022: it shows how an area compares with the national distribution, not an absolute standard of living, and scores are not comparable across editions of the index.
- An average hides the spread: A county or council figure is a population-weighted average of its electoral divisions and hides large variation within the area -- Dublin City's divisions run from well below to well above the national average.
- Built from Census measures: The index is a composite of Census variables (unemployment, education, social class, lone parents, tenure, crowding, age dependency), so comparing it with any one of those is partly circular.
- Latest figure: 2022 — 4 years old: This dataset is published annual and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
