BlarneyCo. Cork City vs GlanmireCo. Cork CityTown level

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

Compare other towns
iBlarney sits in T23, Glanmire in T45. Each figure below is tagged with the geographic level it's actually measured at.
!Glanmire is a city suburb — its boundary follows the postal area (the Small Areas whose addresses carry the name), not an official settlement line, so it can run broader than the local core and the figures cover that wider postal patch.

Liveability & safety● AREA · T23 / T45
Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (BlarneyT23, GlanmireT45); safety & crime are the Cork City Garda division — so they read identically for both towns.

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.

Blarney Above average+2.7
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Single Electoral Division (Blarney) — above the national average.
Glanmire Above average+0.0
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Fair Hill C -17 (least affluent) → Caherlag +5 (most affluent). It straddles 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 (Cork City) — 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 19 CSO Small Areas.
