Method
Share of charities in this group, counted from the register by registered address, compared with the national share. A difference of at least three percentage points and a ratio of 1.35 or more is needed to show.
Limitations
  • Counts are by registered address, which is often a head office or a trustee, not where the work happens.
  • No population figures are held, so these are shares of organisations, not rates per person.
  • Purpose labels are those given by each national register and are not identical across countries.

Limitations

  • Pupil counts are from different years in different countries.

What we do not hold here

  • Population, housing, crime, income and other census-style figures: we hold none for Ireland here, so nothing above is a rate per person.
  • Eircode is not open data, so a full Eircode is reduced to its three-character routing key and charities are placed by town or, failing that, county centre.
  • About 4 in 10 charities are placed only to the middle of their county because the register gives no town we can place; the page says so on each list.
  • Dail constituencies are not matched to an address; councils are matched by county.
