Census 2011 Small Area Population Statistics - Interactive Mapping Tool (SAPMAP)

Описание: Ireland's Census 2011 Small Area Population Statistics are available to access using a new interactive mapping and search tool -- SAPMAP. http://www.cso.ie/en/census/census201... The data consists of a collection of 46 tables organised in a range of themes such as education, occupation, industries, ethnicity, nationality and housing available for ten different layers of geography from the State down to Electoral division and Small Areas.

Deirdre Cullen, Senior Statistician at the CSO: "For the first time ever, Census 2011 data is available for approximately 18,500 Small Areas across the country -- each of which consists of a small pocket of the population (approximately 80-100 households on average) and so provides the most detailed layer of population data ever available for Ireland.

Users of the SAPMAP web tool can now click on their area on the map and instantly access the full set of census statistics relating to that area. This greatly improves the method of finding statistics for small local areas around the country and will be of immense use to local communities".

SAPS data for individual towns, counties or communities can be accessed online at the CSO website at www.cso.ie/census using the SAPMAP tool and are available to download in a number of formats free of charge. Alternatively the complete set of tables for a particular geographic layer can be downloaded as a single file.

Ms Cullen concluded "This new application aims to ensure that census data is readily available to all - and for all areas right across the country - and is an important step in bringing the data alive in a fresh and exciting way making it easier to access for all."
