These seven scores and the 55/100 are measured across the N41 Eircode area, not Drumod alone — an area that takes in much of LEITRIM. 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 Drumod is #66 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
