These seven scores and the 55/100 are measured across the T23 Eircode area, not Monard alone — an area that takes in much of SOUTH TIPPERARY. 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 Monard is #81 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
