Published by Central Statistics Office
Central Statistics Office (CSO) publishes the Census 2011 results as interactive tables, compiled reports, community profiles, population maps and boundary files.
Summarized reports on population distribution, movements, employments, housing, diversity, ethnicity, etc.
Small Area Population Statistics are Census 2011 statistics produced for a range of geographical levels from state to small areas. There are three options available for viewing/downloading SAPS information : 1) INTERACTIVE MAPPING TOOL(SAPMAP) with PDF and Excel download, 2) SAPS CSV DOWNLOADS and 3) Zips
As part of the Census 2011 processing programme the place of work, school or college details were geo-coded. All workers resident in Ireland on Census night were coded to their place of work and all Irish resident students from the age of 5 and upwards were coded to their place of school/college. A detailed file containing the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of these residents along with information on the origin and destination of their journeys has been made available for analysis.The POWSCAR is only available under strict conditions to bone fide researchers who are approved by CSO.
Census 2011 was the first time where each household and dwelling was linked to spatial coordinates, thereby offering greater flexibility in relation to the production of geographical outputs. The result of this linkage means that grid cells of equal size can be used to disseminate data from the 2011 census. The advantages of grids are that they offer independence from existing administrative boundaries (which can facilitate cross-border analysis) and provide a better representation of the spatial distribution of the population.The 1 Km² grid dataset is available in the Irish Transverse Mercator (EPSG Code 2157) as a comma delimited values file (.csv) and in vector format (.shp). It is also available in the ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area (EPSG Code 3035) projection on request.
