Census 2016-Percentage UK Born Living in Ireland
I was looking at this web-map this morning that shows the number of Irish living in the UK. I quickly put together an equivalent for the number of UK born individuals resident in Ireland as reported in the 2016 census.

Irish Census 2016 – Unpopulated Townlands
At some stage in the second half of 2020 the Central Statistics Office released the population for each townland in Ireland for both the 2011 and 2016 censuses.

Cork City – Street Types
I was reading Alasdair Rae’s street types blog post yesterday and I thought about doing something similar for Ireland.

Airbnbs in Ireland
I was reading this Guardian article the other day where they produced maps showing the number of Airbnb listings per 100 dwellings. I thought it was really interesting and I hadn’t seen Airbnb data mapped like that before. I had a few hours to spare yesterday so I set about replicating their method for Ireland.…
