Naas vs SallinsTown 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 W91 — 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.

Liveability & safety● AREA · W91 / W91
Wider-area figures, not the town. Quality of life & rank are for the whole Eircode area each town sits in (NaasW91, SallinsW91); safety & crime are the Kildare 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.

Naas Affluent+6.1
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Naas Urban +6 (least affluent) → Naas Rural +8 (most affluent). Even its least-affluent neighbourhood is above the national average.
Sallins Affluent+6.1
← more deprivednational avg · 0more affluent →
Spread across the town: Bodenstown +5 (least affluent) → Naas Rural +8 (most affluent). Even its least-affluent neighbourhood is above 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 (Kildare) — 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 150 CSO Small Areas.

The verdict

Naas is the stronger town on the data — ahead on 2 of 6 dimensions: schools & amenities and public transport. Sallins’s edge is affordability.

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