The same comparison as the area page, but measured for the town itself, not the whole Eircode routing key.
Compare other townsOutlines 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 (Meath) — coarser than a town, so two towns in the same county read the same.
Ratoath and Trim are closely matched — each leads on 3 of the 7 dimensions, with 1 level. Ratoath is ahead on affluence, education levels and access to its nearest city; Trim on schools & amenities, public transport and affordability.
Higher is better on every spoke — affluence, education, amenity density, transport, safety, affordability and nearest-city access, scored head-to-head.
