1.0 Introduction

This socio-economic evidence base for County Clare provides a profile of the County taking an approach that is inter-generational (1981-2011), gender-based (Female/Male) and spatial (County, Municipal District and Electoral Division). While generally drawing on Census of Population Data, the most recent point-in-time data, (e.g. Live Register) is also presented. A number of topics are examined using this approach, namely, Population, Employment/Economy, Education, Poverty Reduction and Energy.

The commentary on the data is contained in Chapter 6 of the document “Clare County Local Economic and Community Plan 2016 - 2021” accessible at www.clarecoco.ie/community/LECP. The evidence provided in this document is intended for use as a support tool for Local Economic and Community planning and decision making.
