Gross household income is all income received by the household before tax and social contributions, including wages, pensions and social welfare payments; net income is after tax and contributions. The median is the middle household, so a few very high incomes do not pull it up. Figures are the CSO’s estimates from administrative records for 2022.

Services and green space are measured from the centre of each census small area (usually 80 to 120 homes) and averaged by population. The list of everyday places counts what lies within one kilometre of the small area with the most services in the division.
