They were designed as the lowest level of geography for the compilation of statistics in line with data protection guidelines and typically contain between 50 and 200 dwellings. A further constraint imposed when creating these new areas was that they nested within Electoral Division boundaries. Finally, they are generally comprised either of complete townlands or neighbourhoods.</div><div><br /></div><div>Boundaries used for Census Hub 2022 and are in terms of Web Mercator (EPSG 3857). These boundaries are based on 20m generalised boundaries sourced from Tailte Éireann Open Data Portal</div><div><br /></div><div>Census 2022 Small Areas have been redrawn to ensure they remain consistent with the principle of data protection and are relatively comparable in size. This redraw was necessary following changes in population size and distribution between 2016 and 2022 and was done by the CSO with support from Tailte Éireann.
