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.

Residence one year before census: Elsewhere in county — every local authority ranked

Residence one year before census: Same address·Elsewhere in Ireland·Outside Ireland

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 aged 1 and over by where they lived one year before Census Day, from Census 2016 and 2022 -- same address, elsewhere in the county, elsewhere in Ireland, or outside Ireland. County-level in-migration flow, distinct from CSO's national-only annual migration estimate.

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.
