These seven scores and the 54/100 are measured across the F45 Eircode area, not Frenchpark alone — an area that takes in much of ROSCOMMON. 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 Frenchpark is #81 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
