Liveability & safety● AREA · F91 / F91
Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (CliffoneyF91, SligoF91); safety & crime are the Sligo/Leitrim Garda division — so they read identically for both towns.
Quality of Life
71/100
71/100

Quality of Life is the equal-weighted average of these seven 0–100 dimensions, scored for the whole Eircode routing area (F91 / F91) 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.

Cliffoney Below average-0.4
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Cliffony North -3 (least affluent) → Cliffony North +2 (most affluent). It straddles the national average.
Sligo Below average-4.0

Spread across the town: Sligo East -8 (least affluent) → Knockaree +6 (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 (Sligo/Leitrim) — 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 84 CSO Small Areas.

The verdict

Sligo is the stronger town on the data — it leads on 2 of the 7 dimensions to Cliffoney’s 1, with 4 level: schools & amenities and public transport. Cliffoney leads on affluence.

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