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 Legan is #106 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
The score is for the D07 Eircode area; the crime rate is recorded per Garda division (DMR North Central). Neither is measured for Legan on its own.
