Below average today — the fundamentals are slipping behind the rest of the country.
These seven scores and the 59/100 are measured across the Y35 Eircode area, not Bridgetown alone — an area that takes in much of WEXFORD. A strong or weak pocket inside it can read very differently from the area average.
Ranked on quality of life alone — cost of living excluded, so the genuinely best areas rank top even though they cost more. Factor in price and Bridgetown is #58 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
The score is for the Y35 Eircode area; the crime rate is recorded per Garda division (Wexford). Neither is measured for Bridgetown on its own.
269 people.
Population is for Bridgetown itself (Census 2022, Small-Area boundary).
Not ranked: under 2,000 residents, one pub swings the per-head figure too far.
Census profile and the affluence rating are Electoral Division figures — the CSO/Pobal area around Bridgetown, which is why this unemployment rate can differ from the one behind the quality-of-life scores above (those are Eircode-area wide).
