The same comparison as the area page, but measured for the town itself, not the whole Eircode routing key.

Compare other towns
iBoth towns sit in the same Eircode area A92 — on the routing-key area page they would read as one number. At town level they diverge. Each figure below is tagged with the geographic level it's actually measured at.

Liveability & safety● AREA · A92 / A92
Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (BeaulieuA92, CollonA92); safety & crime are the Louth Garda division — so they read identically for both towns.
Quality of Life
67/100
67/100

Quality of Life is the equal-weighted average of these seven 0–100 dimensions, scored for the whole Eircode routing area (A92 / A92) 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.

Beaulieu Below average-2.4
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Single Electoral Division (St. Peter's) — below the national average.
Collon Below average-1.4
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Collon -3 (least affluent) → Collon 0 (most affluent). Every neighbourhood is below the national average.

How accurate is this, and at what level?

● TOWN
Prices, amenities & commute — exact, town-specific.

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.

● ED
Affluence, profile & tenure — Electoral-Division level.

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 (Louth) — 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 5 CSO Small Areas.

The verdict

Collon is the stronger town on the data — it leads on 1 of the 7 dimensions to Beaulieu’s 0, with 6 level: affordability. Beaulieu doesn’t lead on any.

Higher is better on every spoke — affluence, education, amenity density, transport, safety, affordability and nearest-city access, scored head-to-head.
