About average today — but the fundamentals are turning, faster than the national trend.
These seven scores and the 68/100 are measured across the H91 Eircode area, not Roscam alone — an area that takes in much of Galway. 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 Roscam is #26 of 108 for value for money (most quality of life per euro).
The score is for the H91 Eircode area; the crime rate is recorded per Garda division (Galway). Neither is measured for Roscam on its own.
1,022 people.

Not ranked: a suburb’s boundary is a postal approximation, so its shops serve more people than are counted inside it.
Census profile and the affluence rating are Electoral Division figures — the CSO/Pobal area around Roscam, which is why this unemployment rate can differ from the one behind the quality-of-life scores above (those are Eircode-area wide).
