Limerick city and suburbsCo. Limerick City vs RaheenCo. Limerick CityTown level

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

iBoth towns sit in the same Eircode area V94 — 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.

!Raheen 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 · V94 / V94

Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (Limerick city and suburbs → V94, Raheen → V94); safety & crime are the Limerick 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.

Limerick city and suburbs Below average-4.1

Spread across the town: John's A -42 (least affluent) → Ballinacurra A +8 (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 (Limerick) — 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 388 CSO Small Areas.

Limerick city and suburbsRaheen

The verdict

Limerick city and suburbs is the stronger town on the data — it leads on 5 of the 7 dimensions to Raheen’s 0, with 2 level: affluence, education levels, schools & amenities, public transport and affordability. Raheen 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.
