Liveability & safety● AREA · H12 / A82
Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (Ballinagh → H12, Virginia → A82); safety & crime are the Cavan/Monaghan Garda division — so they read identically for both towns.
▸Quality of Life
62/100
62/100
Quality of Life is the equal-weighted average of these seven 0–100 dimensions, scored for the whole Eircode routing area (H12 / A82) from official data — Garda crime, CSO income & census, OPW flood, EPA water, and transport/healthcare/broadband coverage. Refreshed quarterly. The dashed line is each town's overall score (that average) — dimensions to its right beat the average, to its left fall short. Two towns can share a score with a very different mix.

Affluence range
Pobal HP deprivation index — published per Electoral Division, so the spread shows the town's poorest to richest ED. A town that is a single ED shows one mark, no range.
BallinaghDisadvantaged-8.5
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Bellananagh -11 (least affluent) → Bellananagh -6 (most affluent). Every neighbourhood is below the national average.
VirginiaBelow average-1.9
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Virginia -3 (least affluent) → Virginia -1 (most affluent). Every neighbourhood is below the national average.
Prices come from individual PPR sales inside the town's Small-Area boundary; schools, GPs, transport, gyms and parks are counted the same way; commute is routed from the town centre. The figures the routing-key area page can't give you.
Pobal HP, third-level, class, unemployment, tenure are published per Electoral Division and averaged across the town's EDs — a range where the town spans several EDs (see the bar above).
● AREA
Liveability & safety — wider-area, not the town.
Quality of life and rank are per Eircode routing key; safety & crime are the Garda division (Cavan/Monaghan) — coarser than a town, so two towns in the same county read the same.
Population & growth are loaded for ~7 counties so far (not Leinster yet); rent & yield are too sparse per town. Tap Schools or Affluence to drill in. Built from 15 CSO Small Areas.

The verdict
Virginia is the stronger town on the data — it leads on 4 of the 7 dimensions to Ballinagh’s 2, with 1 level: affluence, education levels, schools & amenities and access to its nearest city. Ballinagh leads on public transport and affordability.
Higher is better on every spoke — affluence, education, amenity density, transport, safety, affordability and nearest-city access, scored head-to-head.
