iBorrisokane sits in E45, Newport in V94. Each figure below is tagged with the geographic level it’s actually measured at. The town ahead on a row is the one in green. Scores and percentages are charted against a true 0 to 100 scale; every other row is charted against the larger of the two towns, so the bars compare but don’t imply a ceiling.

Liveability & safety

AREA · E45 / V94

Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (BorrisokaneE45, NewportV94); safety & crime are the Tipperary Garda division.

72/100
Quality of Life
62/100
Borrisokane leads

Quality of Life is the equal-weighted average of these seven 0–100 dimensions, scored for the whole Eircode routing area (E45 / V94) 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.

Borrisokane Disadvantaged-11.2
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Borrisokane -13 (least affluent) → Borrisokane -9 (most affluent). Every neighbourhood is below the national average.
Newport Below average-0.1
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Newport -2 (least affluent) → Newport +2 (most affluent). It straddles the national average.

How accurate is this, and at what level?

TOWN
Prices, amenities and commute are exact and 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.

ED
Affluence, profile and tenure are Electoral-Division level.

Published per Electoral Division and averaged across the town’s EDs, with a range where the town spans several.

AREA
Liveability and safety are wider-area, not the town.

Quality of life and rank are per Eircode routing key; safety and crime are the Garda division (Tipperary), coarser than a town, so two towns in the same county read the same.

Population growth isn’t shown: the 2016 and 2022 censuses don’t use the same Small Areas, and the areas that were re-cut are the ones that grew, so a like-for-like comparison understates growth badly. Rent and yield are still too sparse to show per town. Built from 10 CSO Small Areas.
