These are raw counts, not rates -- a larger area ranks higher on this page mainly because it has more people, not necessarily a worse underlying rate.
Figures as of 2022, published by CSO Census of Population — Small Area Population Statistics (religion, ethnicity, travel to work, residence a year ago). Accessed 2026-09-21.
Usually resident population by ethnic or cultural background, from Census 2016 and 2022.
Two or more areas with the same figure share a rank -- the next rank is skipped (e.g. two areas tied for 1st means the next entry is ranked 3rd, not 2nd).
Before you use these figures
- 2016 and 2022 figures cover different areas: Cork City Council's boundary was extended in 2019, taking in a large area previously part of Cork County. This series' 2016 figure covers the smaller, pre-2019 city; its 2022 figure covers the larger, post-2019 city. The change between them reflects the boundary redraw, not a real change in the population it describes — not a trend to compare year over year.
- 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 annual and the publisher hasn't released anything newer. Nothing is missing from this page.
