Area Analysis

Let's say you are unfamiliar with the various areas in Dublin and you could not physically visit the areas.

You are asked to rank these 4 areas in terms of the wealth of their residents and even better try to come up with an average income figure or where they lie on an 'average income' line.

How do you do it?

Dun Laoghaire
Crumlin
Howth
Finglas

(the census does not collect personal income information).

You wouldn't be able to get that granular.

Eg. : http://census.cso.ie/sapmap2016/Results.aspx?Geog_Type=SA2017&Geog_Code=4c07d11e-39f5-851d-e053-ca3ca8c0ca7f

None of these would help the OP.

In any event:

1) Howth
2) Dún Laoghaire
3) Crumlin
4) Finglas

How did you decide on that ranking?:)

Experience. The Pobal viewer seems to confirm this, at least in terms of deprivation. You could possibly swap Howth and Dún Laoghaire.

There's no way of being scientific. But if I were plonked in a brand new city in another country and was looking for a place to live the first thing I would do is look at where the coast is (if it's coastal). Coastal areas are always more affluent as a general rule and you can exclude the outliers by looking at property values and crime figures.

You're looking for income data which is extremely specific and personally I'd be quite annoyed if my income was publicly available as a tool to decide which areas are better than others.
