These seven scores and the 65/100 are measured across the W12 Eircode area, not Milltown alone — an area that takes in much of KILDARE. 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 Milltown is #35 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
The score is for the W12 Eircode area; the crime rate is recorded per Garda division (Kildare). Neither is measured for Milltown on its own.
184 people.

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 Milltown, which is why this unemployment rate can differ from the one behind the quality-of-life scores above (those are Eircode-area wide).
