AREA JOURNEY · STEP 2 OF 3
Explore local patterns
See where two published local figures are unusually high or low together. This is not a ranking or a measure of need. The figures are shown side by side with their national comparators, so you can interpret the pattern for yourself.
Choose an area below to review its local patterns. A funding next step is shown only after this review and only where ATLAS can point to a published area-based criterion.
Pattern names, figure labels and the lists under them are shown in English only on this concept page.
Look up your own area
Matches every Electoral Division in Ireland. Areas under 300 residents are left out everywhere on this page: a single household can swing a rate enough to look dramatic when it isn't.
Browse by pattern: Electoral Division
Each group below names two published figures, both measured for the same small area. An area appears in a group only if both figures sit at least one and a half standard deviations from the national average, in the stated direction, for areas with at least 300 residents. Areas are listed alphabetically, never ranked, and every area can appear in more than one group or in none.
Browse by pattern: county and city
House prices, planning permissions and social housing waiting times are only published at county or local-authority level, not per Electoral Division, so this group is kept entirely separate from the one above rather than mixed into it. The same "no combined score" rule applies: a county either matches a named pair of figures or it doesn't, listed alphabetically.
What this page does not do
- It does not add the figures into one number, and it never places areas on a single scale, because these figures do not belong on one together.
- It does not say why two figures move together. A shared pattern can have entirely different causes in two different places.
- It says nothing about any person living in the area, only about the area's published figures.
- After you have selected an area and reviewed its local patterns, ATLAS may show a funding next step where published figures indicate one of the criteria it checks. It is a starting point for further reading, never a statement that an area or organisation is eligible for anything.
