Irish public data, by county
StatsMapped

Mean weekly earnings for every Irish county, ranked from highest to lowest, from official public data.

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.

Before you use these figures

  • Mean is pulled up by high earners: The mean can be pushed higher by a relatively small number of high earners in a county. The median weekly earnings figure is a better guide to what a typical worker in the county actually earns.
  • Based on payroll (Revenue) records, not a survey: This figure comes from administrative payroll data reported to Revenue, not a labour-force survey. It covers PAYE-visible earnings and does not capture self-employment income the way a survey-based earnings measure would.
