1 Introduction

Electoral Divisions (EDs) are used to record population figures. Electoral Divisions (EDs) are the smallest legally defined administrative areas in the State for which Small Area Population Statistics (SAPS) are published from the Census. There are 3,440 legally defined EDs in the State, of which 95 are within . Figure 1 – Electoral Divisions

The main household census caters for up to six persons present in the household on Census Night. There were 30 questions in the 2011 census form to be answered in respect of each individual who was present in the household. In addition, there were 11 household questions that the householder was required to answer relating to the household’s accommodation. The household form also sought limited information about persons who were temporarily away from the household on census night. Figure 2 – Electoral Divisions Map

4 2011 Census of Population

The Census of Population 2011 was taken on the night of Sunday, 10th April 2011. The total for the population of the State was 4,588,252 persons, compared with 4,239,848 persons in April 2006, an increase of 348,404 persons since 2006 or 7.5 per cent. This translates into an annual average increase of 69,680, or 1.6 per cent. Over the previous four-year inter-censal period between 2002 and 2006 the population of the State increased by 322,645 persons or 2 per cent per annum, which equates to an annual average total of 80,661, which is the highest on record. Figure 7 – State Population Growth 1951-2011

Figure 8 – County Population Growth 1981-2011

The figures above illustrate that the rate of growth of population in South Tipperary during the inter- censal period 2006 – 2011 was 6.26%, compared to 8.1% for the State. This suggests that that South Tipperary continued to perform less well in terms of population growth than was the case throughout the State. By comparison, the neighbouring counties of North Tipperary and Kilkenny returned an increase in population of 6.36% and 8.91%, respectively.
