How disadvantaged (or advantaged) are you?

    Interesting overview of every district in Ireland's level of affluence or poverty.  Unsurprisingly, if you zoom in for D15, the areas around Castleknock gets most of the blue colours (affluence).

    Disadvantaged, not surprising as its a working class council estate but I wouldn't consider myself to be disadvantaged personally.

    These are quite interesting but as I said in a different thread it doesn't take account of the lower income but higher disposable income of pensioners, many of whom have limited education. Areas with lots of well healed pensioners appear less affluent than areas with young families who may have two or three times the income but have nothing left at the end of the month.

    Interesting point that, would explain older estates like Coolmine Boulevard, Orchard Grove, Glenville etc. full of well-heeled pensioners don't feature as advantaged.

    No wonder trawler men have big cars, look how affluent the sea is!

    Strange map. Im in a yellow zone but the houses around the corner, 100m, in the same estate are blue. Also, the empty fields nearby are also blue.

    Wealthy cows I guess.
