(2014). Cork City Profile 2014. Cork Healthy Cities and Social Inclusion Unit, Cork City Council: Cork, Ireland. Cartography, Graphics and Typesetting by T. Kelly (except where otherwise stated) FOREWORD Cork City Lord Mayor I welcome the publication of the Cork City Profile 2014. Focusing on social inclusion and health, this publication is a substantial, innovative inter-agency research initiative between Cork Healthy Cities and Cork City Council Social Inclusion Unit. Since 2012 Cork City has been a World Health Organisation (WHO) designated Healthy City and indeed the importance of having such a comprehensive analysis of Cork City is essential in developing and steering social, economic, health and cultural policy toward a better quality of life for all now and in the future. Here in Cork, we are proud of our heritage, culture and economic resources. Cork is a city of diversity and vibrancy. It provides a thriving environment for business, education, sports, culture, family and community life. We have a lot to build on. This publication highlights the challenges and focuses our minds on areas we can all contribute to improving on. It provides evidence to ensure that our city develops inclusively for all its citizens, which in turn benefits the city as a whole. Reflecting that health and wellbeing is all our business, this research drew on the expertise and knowledge of a wide range of interagency partners. I would like to acknowledge Cork City Council Social Inclusion Unit and Cork Healthy Cities Steering Group for their commitment in delivering this joint project. I would like to acknowledge the support of Cork City Partnership for enabling the recruitment of a support research assistant for the development of this project. Also, I would like to thank all the members of the Cork City Profile Steering Group which was composed of members from all main agencies, organisations, and the community sector of Cork City. Finally, I wish to commend Tomás Kelly and Paul Hayes, for their enormous effort in delivering a very thorough and excellent report and I congratulate them on this achievement. As Lord Mayor, I would encourage people to share and raise awareness about this document. It is a resource that can help everyone in the city understand the importance of continuing the work towards a more equal, healthy and socially inclusive city. Yours Sincerely, Cllr. Mary Shields Lord Mayor Foreword | I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cork Healthy Cities Steering Group and Cork City Council Social Inclusion Unit would like to extend their thanks to the authors of this report, Tomás Kelly, independent researcher, and Paul Hayes, assistant researcher, for delivering with a lot of effort and patience an excellent report.

Acknowledgements | II BaCkgroUnd and PUrPoSe of the Cork CIty ProfIle 2014 Cork City Profile: a joint Initiative Cork Healthy Cities Steering Group and Cork City Council’s Social Inclusion Unit came together to develop the Cork City Profile as a joint initiative. Cork Healthy Cities commissioned an independent researcher Tomas Kelly to carry out and compile the research. Tomas was assisted by Paul Hayes who was hosted and supported by Cork City Partnership. A Core Research Team was established between the two researchers, the Cork Healthy Cities Co- ordinator and the Social Inclusion Unit Policy Analyst (see details of Core Research Team at back of document). A further interagency approach was adopted to maximise the effectiveness of the research. A Cork City Profile Steering Group was established and included representatives from HSE, Cork City Council, Cork City Partnership, University College Cork, Gardai, and Community Representatives. Purpose of Cork City Profile: Cork is a city of rich diversity, culture and history. It has opportunities for business, education, sports, family and community life. Since the last census, Cork has been greatly affected by a period of recession. However, for a long time Cork city has suffered from levels of deprivation that exceed national averages. Deprivation, social exclusion and negative health outcomes are all mutually reinforcing factors. “The social conditions in which people live powerfully influence their chances to be healthy. Indeed factors such as poverty, food insecurity, social exclusion and discrimination, poor housing, unhealthy early childhood conditions, low occupational status are important determinants of most diseased, death and heath inequalities between and within countries” (WHO 2014). The purpose of this research study is to provide informative evidence, generate discussion among stakeholders and ultimately influence policy and the design and implementation of services to improve health and social inclusion in the city. Structure of report: Section I contains an overall profile of Cork City Local Authority Area under nine key themes: Demography; Economy; Education and Skills; Diversity; Families and Living Arrangements; Housing; Transport and the Environment; Deprivation; Lifesyle and Behaviours; and Health Outcomes. The first seven themes lead into the themes of ‘Deprivation’ and ‘Health Outcomes’ – both of which are influenced by an array of factors spanning the preceding themes. Section II contains smaller scale analysis in the form of Electoral Division Profiles. Each Electoral Division in the city – of which there are 74 – is profiled. These profiles include maps, satellite imagery and census data for 91 variables across 10 themes and broad analyses of each Electoral Division’s socio-economic characteristics. Section III contains a series of supplementary maps and appendices that complement the preceding two sections. Background and Purpose of the Cork City Profile 2014 | III Summary Profile This section contains a summary of the research findings under each of the key themes. Each theme is represented by a full page. Although it is difficult to distill a report as extensive as this into a summary, key points that have emerged have been included. Largely absent from the Summary Profile are discussions on the context within the literature and theoretical implications, which are outlined in the body of the report. Also absent from this section are the overarching conclusions, which are located at the end of Section I. As a summary, some references to the source of figures have been excluded. These can be found in the individual chapters of the document. IV deMograPhy • As of 2011, there were a total of 119,230 people living in Cork City (58,812 males and 60,418 females).

Cork City is a City Rising. Retail units are opening for business in the €50m Capitol retail and office complex. Work has started on the €90 million Navigation House office development on Albert Quay and over the summer, Cork City Council agreed the sale of 7-9 Parnell Place and 1-2 Deane Street to Tetrarch Capital who propose to build a budget boutique hotel and designer hostel with ground floor restaurants and bars. Earlier this year, Boole House was handed over to UCC and also over the summer, the Presentation Sisters opened Nano Nagle Place on Douglas Street. This is all progress. Our strategy at Cork City Council has been to deliver for the Cork region through a revitalised, vibrant city centre – to our mind, the city centre is the ‘healthy heart’ of Cork.
