Lucan is a large town and Raheny is a small town, so their national rankings aren’t like-for-like — each is ranked only against places of its own size. Compare them on the per-10,000 row instead.

Liveability & safety● AREA · K78 / D05
Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (Lucan → K78, Raheny → D05); safety & crime are the DMR West Garda division.
▸Quality of Life
70/100
62/100
Quality of Life is the equal-weighted average of these seven 0–100 dimensions, scored for the whole Eircode routing area (K78 / D05) 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.
LucanAbove average+3.4
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Lucan Heights 0 (least affluent) → Lucan-st. Helens +6 (most affluent). It straddles the national average.
RahenyBelow average-1.8
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Raheny-greendale -11 (least affluent) → Raheny-st. Assam +8 (most affluent). It straddles the national average.
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).
● AREA
Liveability & safety — wider-area, not the town.
Quality of life and rank are per Eircode routing key; safety & crime are the Garda division (DMR West) — 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 203 CSO Small Areas.

The verdict
Lucan is the stronger town on the data — it leads on 5 of the 7 dimensions to Raheny’s 1, with 1 level: affluence, education levels, schools & amenities, public transport and affordability. Raheny leads on safety.
Higher is better on every spoke — affluence, education, amenity density, transport, safety, affordability and nearest-city access, scored head-to-head.
