Definition
Usual resident population from CSO FY003B (census years 2006, 2011, 2016, 2022). The table publishes counties and cities. On Explore, historic county map units that contain several official parts (for example Dublin) may show a calculated sum of those parts — not a CSO-published county total. Metric filtered to Population (excludes CSO change columns).

Caveats
- FY003B publishes census-year population for counties and cities (2006–2022).
- On the Explore county map, Dublin, Cork, Galway and similar splits may be summed from official parts and labelled Calculated (geo.county_from_parts.v1).
- Do not treat a calculated county sum as a CSO-published county figure.
