Small Area Population Statistics

Small Area Population Statistics (SAPS) are Census statistics produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) for a range of geographical levels including 31 Administrative Counties, 95 Municipal districts, 3,409 Electoral Divisions and 18,641 Small Areas. Although the statistics are collected by the CSO the statutory boundary data sets are administered by OSi. On this website the statistical and boundary data have been fused together to provide almost 500 layers of geo-statistical information. These layers can be downloaded as Open Data in a variety of formats or alternatively accessed via a set of Open APIs.
