The same comparison as the area page, but measured for the town itself, not the whole Eircode routing key.
Outlines are each town's CSO Small Areas — the exact footprint every figure is measured over.
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.
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).
Quality of life and rank are per Eircode routing key; safety & crime are the Garda division (Kildare) — coarser than a town, so two towns in the same county read the same.
Kilcock is the stronger town on the data — ahead on 3 of 6 dimensions: affluence, education levels and the Dublin commute. Kildare town’s edge is schools & amenities and public transport.
Higher is better on every spoke — affluence, education, amenity density, transport, affordability and Dublin access, scored head-to-head.
