What I find interesting is that most places in Ireland are growing except Dublin. Most likely due to Dublin's problem with rent inflation. Opinions?

The bigger the city, the more attractive it is for younger people, so the trend is not really surprising.
On the other hand: Ireland leading in the "birth rate" category...what a shocker, once again.

Growth in inner Dublin is probably down to the creation of more accommodation in that area with quite a bit of development in terms of apartments etc in that area. Stats are from 2001 to 2011.

The area of decline in established areas (Terenure, Rathmines etc) outside of this is probably due to the fact that there has been very little development in this area and there are less families being rared in these areas than before with prices (purchase moreso than rent) forcing people out to the large growth areas in Kildare etc where there was plenty of land and developments built.

Not sure if rent increases really come into it all that much.

Empty nesters and widow/widowers in older suburbs. The population of my parents house has fallen by 60%.

All those people popping over from Africa and Syria love it so much they decide to stay.

People: Do not mistake population growth, with birth rates. People move all of the time, old age people are living longer. European nations is attractive to people in poorer nations from outside Europe. We actually need them to keep out economy going. Birth rates is falling in many European nations including Cities (where the youth travel to to work and live), over the last several decades and it is worrying many European Nations governments with a ticking pension time bomb in 20 plus years time. Pensions Plans were depended on a pyramid type population structure.

European Union age profile http://www.viewsoftheworld.net/?p=4201

The replacement level for population stabilization is 2.1 Children per couple. The .1 is the reduction of the population due to premature deaths due to ill heath such cancers, disease, accidents etc.

Numerous studies have concluded that the EU’s population is likely to shrink in the coming decades, she said. This was due to a prolonged period of relatively low fertility rates. This means that there are a decreasing number of children and young people in the total population.
This demographic shift in the number of young people in Europe is taking place against the backdrop of a growing elderly population. Although this ageing phenomenon has been recorded across the all the world’s industrialised societies, it has impacted the EU population more than others, the report states.

In many nations in Europe the fertility Rates are well below the 2.1 to keep the population as people who are now in the their 40's die in 40 years time, then the population reduction will start to happen.

Right now population decline in many areas in Europe is happening due to immigration, but in 40 years time it will be cause of lack of fertility of our young generations of age 40 years and younger.

As the empty nesters die off they will likely be replaced by families and these suburbs will see significant growth again over the next 10-20 years.

Native Europeans need to start having more children or they will go the way of the dodo.

Plenty of the city center has good growth and I'm sure that is where the rental growth is highest.

All the cities in Ireland look pretty blue to me. The map would probably look very different if area was proportional to population.

The map shows that those volcano-dwelling Icelandics have come around to the idea that discretion is the better part of valour and packed it all in for Reykjavik.
