Dublin 12 Socio Demographic data - D12 Local information


The data available about Dublin 12 points to an older community that, has not experienced dramatic immigration. The years of unprecedented economic growth did not impact on raising the relative deprivation in the area. In fact, the opposite occurred as all EDs in the area experienced increasing deprivation. There are major pockets of deprivation particularly in Crumlin and Drimnagh. Poor education levels and high unemployment are particular challenges that face these areas. Recent figures obtained from DSFA highlight the large numbers of people who are in receipt of benefits. The numbers claiming entitlements less than six months are of particular concern as this figure indicates that D12 is experiencing increasing new unemployment in the current recession.
