1.1 Town and country - nationwide<br />
Towns <strong>in</strong> Ireland<br />
<strong>Census</strong> 2006 revealed that Drogheda had narrowly replaced Dundalk as the largest town <strong>in</strong> the<br />
State. <strong>Census</strong> <strong>2011</strong> results show that Drogheda has ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed this position with 38,578<br />
persons, Dundalk was <strong>in</strong> second place with 37,816 persons.<br />
The largest town <strong>in</strong> Connacht was Sligo with a population of 19,452 while Letterkenny was the<br />
biggest town <strong>in</strong> Ulster (part of) with 19,588 persons enumerated there <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Saggart <strong>in</strong> South Dubl<strong>in</strong> was the fastest grow<strong>in</strong>g town between 2006 and <strong>2011</strong> when its<br />
population <strong>in</strong>creased by almost 150 per cent from 868 <strong>in</strong> 2006 to 2,144 <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, a rise of 1,276<br />
persons.<br />
Population density <strong>in</strong> Ireland<br />
Population density measures the number of persons occupy<strong>in</strong>g a geographical area <strong>in</strong><br />
proportion to the size of that area. The population density for the State <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> was 67 persons<br />
per km2, up from 62 persons per km2 recorded <strong>in</strong> 2006.<br />
The average population density <strong>in</strong> urban areas was 1,736 persons per km2 compared to 26<br />
persons per km2 <strong>in</strong> rural areas.<br />
The more densely populated areas are predom<strong>in</strong>antly located with<strong>in</strong> the Greater Dubl<strong>in</strong> Area<br />
or GDA (i.e. Dubl<strong>in</strong> City, F<strong>in</strong>gal, South Dubl<strong>in</strong>, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Meath, Kildare and<br />
Wicklow).<br />

1.2 Town and country – <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
Urbanisation<br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong> is the third most rural county <strong>in</strong> Ireland with 74 per cent of the population liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
rural areas. Leitrim is first (90%) and Galway <strong>County</strong> is second (77.4%).<br />
Overall <strong>in</strong> Ireland, the urban population has <strong>in</strong>creased by 10.6 per cent while the rural<br />
population only grew by 4.6 per cent.<br />
Born here, live there<br />
Irish people showed a tendency to live <strong>in</strong> their birth county. Over three-quarters of the<br />
country’s 3.76 million Irish born residents were usually resident <strong>in</strong> their county of birth.<br />
People born <strong>in</strong> Leitrim were the most likely to have moved to another county to live. Almost 40<br />
per cent of those born <strong>in</strong> Leitrim lived <strong>in</strong> another county. Of those born <strong>in</strong> Westmeath 37.2 per<br />
cent lived outside the county followed by <strong>Roscommon</strong> at 35.5 per cent compared with the<br />
State average of 24.8 per cent.<br />
Who moved where<br />
A question on usual residence one year ago provides data on <strong>in</strong>ternal migration <strong>in</strong> the year<br />
lead<strong>in</strong>g up to the census and shows that just over 273,000 usual residents (or 6.2 per cent of all<br />
usual residents aged one year or over) moved <strong>in</strong> the year to April <strong>2011</strong>, compared with 322,030<br />
movers <strong>in</strong> 2006, a fall of 15 per cent.<br />
Of those <strong>in</strong>habitants whose ‘county of usual residence’ is <strong>Roscommon</strong>:<br />
30,670 of the population present <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> on census night were born <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong>.<br />

2.1 Older & younger -<br />
nationwide<br />
Le<strong>in</strong>ster is the only prov<strong>in</strong>ce with un<strong>in</strong>terrupted population growth over the entire period 1926<br />
to <strong>2011</strong> with its population more than doubl<strong>in</strong>g dur<strong>in</strong>g that period. Munster’s population,<br />
although experienc<strong>in</strong>g periods of decl<strong>in</strong>e up to the early 1960s experienced more modest<br />
growth overall.<br />
In contrast, however, the populations of Connacht and Ulster (part) experienced more severe<br />
population decl<strong>in</strong>e cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g until the 1970s. In fact, the populations of both prov<strong>in</strong>ces are<br />
still slightly lower than <strong>in</strong> 1926 hav<strong>in</strong>g experienced slower and more erratic recovery with most<br />
notable growth <strong>in</strong> the 30-54 year age groups.<br />

More women than men?<br />
Up to the mid-1980’s the trend was for more men than women <strong>in</strong> the State, though the ratio<br />
varied greatly by prov<strong>in</strong>ce with Le<strong>in</strong>ster hav<strong>in</strong>g consistently fewer males. S<strong>in</strong>ce the mid-1980s<br />
the overall trend has reversed with a tendency for there to be slightly more females.<br />
<strong>Census</strong> <strong>2011</strong> showed the lowest ever sex ratio for the State with 981 males per 1000 females.<br />
9
2.2 Older & younger -<br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
Grow<strong>in</strong>g older<br />
In <strong>2011</strong> Cork city had the highest average age at 38.7 compared to 36.1 for the State as a<br />
whole. F<strong>in</strong>gal had the lowest average age of any county at 32.9. <strong>Roscommon</strong>’s average age was<br />
38.4, and was the fourth oldest county.<br />
It is <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g to exam<strong>in</strong>e the change <strong>in</strong> the average ages of the population <strong>in</strong> each county.<br />
The fastest age<strong>in</strong>g areas were the cities, with Limerick city <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g by 1.5 years and Galway<br />
and Cork cities both show<strong>in</strong>g an <strong>in</strong>crease of over one year s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006. Three counties are<br />
gett<strong>in</strong>g younger with Laois, Cavan and Longford show<strong>in</strong>g a lower average age than <strong>in</strong> 2006.<br />
While not grow<strong>in</strong>g younger, <strong>Roscommon</strong>’s population showed the least ag<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Older female population<br />
The female population was older than the male population by about 1.3 years for the State<br />
overall. This is to be expected given the higher male birthrate comb<strong>in</strong>ed with higher female life<br />
expectancy.<br />
Look<strong>in</strong>g at the difference at county level shows that the females <strong>in</strong> Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown<br />
were substantially older on average than males, with an age difference of 2.5 years, followed<br />
closely by Cork city with an age difference of 2.3 years. Laois showed the smallest difference of<br />
only 0.3 years between the average age of women and men and <strong>Roscommon</strong> showed 0.8<br />
years.<br />
Age dependency: young and old<br />
Age dependency shows the ratio of the old and young population to the population of work<strong>in</strong>g<br />
age. The total dependency ratio for the State <strong>in</strong>creased from 45.8 per cent <strong>in</strong> 2006 to 49.3 per<br />
cent <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, an <strong>in</strong>crease of 3.5 per cent.<br />
The young dependency ratio is the number of young people aged 0 -14 as a percentage of the<br />
population of work<strong>in</strong>g age. In April <strong>2011</strong> this rate stood at 31.9 per cent for the State overall<br />
but was significantly lower <strong>in</strong> the cities with a rate of 20.9 per cent <strong>in</strong> Cork and 21 per cent <strong>in</strong><br />
Dubl<strong>in</strong>. The rates were highest <strong>in</strong> Meath (38.3%), Laois (37.9%) and Cavan (36.6%) all of which<br />
had young and fast grow<strong>in</strong>g populations. <strong>Roscommon</strong>’s young dependency rate was 33.1 per<br />
cent, slightly over the level for the State overall.<br />
10
Old dependency stood at 17.4 per cent for the State, with significant differences at county<br />
level. Counties Mayo and Leitrim had the highest old dependency ratios at 23.3 per cent, while<br />
F<strong>in</strong>gal (10.6%) and Kildare (11.7%) had the lowest. <strong>Roscommon</strong>’s was close to highest at 22.9<br />
per cent.<br />
Average age difference between rural and urban areas of each county<br />
Pre-schoolers on the <strong>in</strong>crease<br />
<strong>Census</strong> <strong>2011</strong> shows a population of pre-school children aged 0-4 of 356,329, an <strong>in</strong>crease of<br />
17.9 per cent s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006, br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g the numbers back to just above the levels <strong>in</strong> the early 1980s.<br />
Le<strong>in</strong>ster was the only prov<strong>in</strong>ce to have exceeded the 1981 population level. The population of<br />
each of the other prov<strong>in</strong>ces, though on the <strong>in</strong>crease, was still lower than the 1981 level.<br />
The greatest <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> preschool children was <strong>in</strong> Laois at 37.1 per cent, followed by Cavan<br />
(30.2%) and Monaghan (26.8%), while the slowest growth was recorded <strong>in</strong> Waterford city<br />
(5.3%). <strong>Roscommon</strong> levels grew at a pace of 17.7 per cent.<br />
Primary schoolers<br />
The greatest <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> primary school aged children was <strong>in</strong> Laois at 28.9 per cent, followed by<br />
F<strong>in</strong>gal (28.3%) and Longford (23.5%), while the slowest growth was recorded <strong>in</strong> Dubl<strong>in</strong> city<br />
(0.5%).<br />
11
The primary school aged population decreased <strong>in</strong> two of the cities with Limerick show<strong>in</strong>g a 9.4<br />
per cent fall and Cork city a 7.9 per cent fall <strong>in</strong> numbers.<br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong> primary school numbers <strong>in</strong>creased by 13.8 per cent: <strong>2011</strong> numbers were 7,222.<br />
Secondary schoolers<br />
<strong>Census</strong> <strong>2011</strong> shows the population of the secondary school age group (13-18) of 344,931, an<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease of only 2,897 persons, or 0.8 per cent, s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006, a consequence of low births <strong>in</strong> the<br />
mid-1990s feed<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to today’s numbers.<br />
The greatest <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> this age group was <strong>in</strong> counties Laois and Kildare at 10.3 per cent,<br />
followed by Meath (9.5%) and Cavan (8.8%).<br />
The secondary school age group decreased <strong>in</strong> almost half of all adm<strong>in</strong>istrative counties. This<br />
was most pronounced <strong>in</strong> city areas with the cities of Limerick (-16.3%), Cork (-11.7%),<br />
Waterford (-6.4%) and Galway (-5.4%) experienc<strong>in</strong>g the greatest decl<strong>in</strong>es. Other decl<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong><br />
general were concentrated <strong>in</strong> the West and <strong>in</strong> South Dubl<strong>in</strong> and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown.<br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong> levels decl<strong>in</strong>ed by 0.7%.<br />
Elderly<br />
The population of the 65 and over age group recorded <strong>in</strong> <strong>Census</strong> <strong>2011</strong> was 535,393, an<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease of 14.4 per cent from 467,926 <strong>in</strong> 2006. Compared to population growth of 8.2 per cent<br />
<strong>in</strong> the State as a whole this is one of the age groups which experienced greatest growth over<br />
the period.<br />
This segment of the population grew <strong>in</strong> each county, topped by F<strong>in</strong>gal with a 38 per cent<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease followed by Kildare (30.3%) and South Dubl<strong>in</strong> (29.1%). The lowest growth <strong>in</strong> the age<br />
group over the period was <strong>in</strong> the large cities with growth of 3.5 per cent <strong>in</strong> Dubl<strong>in</strong> city and 6.5<br />
per cent <strong>in</strong> Cork city.<br />
The population aged 65 and over <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> went from 8,715 <strong>in</strong> 2006 to 9,396 <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, an<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease of 7.8 per cent.<br />

3.1 At work - nationwide<br />
The labour force <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong> had grown by 122,705 people to 2,232,203 - a 5.8 per cent<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006.<br />
Among the labour force, the numbers of those at work decl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> the 5 years by over 6 per<br />
cent to 1,807,369 while the number of people look<strong>in</strong>g for their first job rose by over 16 per<br />
cent to 34,166.<br />
The number of people who were unemployed <strong>in</strong>creased significantly from 150,084 to 390,677.<br />
When comb<strong>in</strong>ed with people look<strong>in</strong>g for their first job the total number of people who were<br />
out of work stood at 424,843 <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
14
3.2 At work - <strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
Employment <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
In <strong>Roscommon</strong>, 48.3 per cent of people aged 15 years and over were at work. 10.7 per cent<br />
were classified as be<strong>in</strong>g unemployed, compared with 3.0 per cent <strong>in</strong> 2006.<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g table shows the sectors <strong>in</strong> which people <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> were employed:<br />
15
Socio economic groups <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g table breaks out the socio economic groups of persons <strong>in</strong> private households.<br />
Another way to analyse this is to exam<strong>in</strong>e the population by social class:<br />
16
Nationality and unemployment<br />
While one <strong>in</strong> five unemployed people <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong> were non-Irish nationals, account<strong>in</strong>g for<br />
77,460 persons overall, there were significant regional variations by county. Over one third of<br />
those unemployed <strong>in</strong> F<strong>in</strong>gal were non-Irish with over 20 per cent from Europe and 7 per cent<br />
from African countries.<br />
In <strong>Roscommon</strong> 22.3 per cent of unemployed people were non-Irish nationals.<br />
In Leitrim 23 per cent of unemployed workers were non-Irish. While nationally only 4 per cent<br />
of all unemployed people were British, <strong>in</strong> Leitrim this stood at 11 per cent. In fellow Connacht<br />
counties Mayo and <strong>Roscommon</strong>, 8 per cent of unemployed people were British.<br />

4.1 The roof over our heads -<br />
nationwide<br />
Irish hous<strong>in</strong>g stock<br />
In April <strong>2011</strong> there were 1,994,845 permanent dwell<strong>in</strong>gs or hous<strong>in</strong>g units <strong>in</strong> the State.<br />
The overall vacancy rate <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g holiday homes, was 14.5 per cent or 289,252<br />
properties. If holiday homes are excluded from the hous<strong>in</strong>g stock the vacancy rate drops to<br />
11.5 per cent.<br />
A total of 59,395 hous<strong>in</strong>g units were classified as vacant holiday homes. The rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g 230,056<br />
were vacant houses and apartments, of which 168,427 were vacant houses and 61,629 were<br />
vacant apartments.<br />
121,974<br />
Households <strong>in</strong> rural<br />
areas connected to<br />
public sewerage<br />
schemes <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />
11.8%<br />
The percentage<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> rural<br />
households hav<strong>in</strong>g<br />
access to the public<br />
sewerage network<br />
between 2006 and<br />
<strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Vacant hous<strong>in</strong>g stock<br />
Between 1991 and 1996 the vacant hous<strong>in</strong>g stock rema<strong>in</strong>ed largely unchanged (105,142<br />
compared with 105,250). However, the construction boom that occurred <strong>in</strong> Ireland from 1996<br />
onwards co<strong>in</strong>cided with a sharp rise <strong>in</strong> the number of vacant dwell<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />
Vacant hous<strong>in</strong>g units <strong>in</strong>creased by 36 per cent from 105,250 to 143,418 between 1996 and<br />
2002, and rose a further 86 per cent to 266,322 <strong>in</strong> 2006. The most recent <strong>in</strong>ter-censal period<br />
has seen a 9 per cent growth culm<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 289,451 vacant dwell<strong>in</strong>gs recorded <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Of the 289,451 vacant dwell<strong>in</strong>gs, 151,273 (52%) were located <strong>in</strong> rural areas while 138,178<br />
(48%) were <strong>in</strong> the urban towns and cities.<br />
19
4.2 The roof over our heads -<br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
Permanent, private households<br />
There were 23,601 permanent dwell<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, an <strong>in</strong>crease of 14.4 per cent<br />
over 2006.<br />
Vacant hous<strong>in</strong>g stock<br />
Vacant dwell<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> the census are split <strong>in</strong>to holiday homes, vacant houses and vacant<br />
apartments. Look<strong>in</strong>g at all vacant dwell<strong>in</strong>gs comb<strong>in</strong>ed, there were 92 towns with a vacancy rate<br />
of 35 per cent or more, of which fifteen were <strong>in</strong> Donegal, thirteen each <strong>in</strong> Kerry and Cork<br />
<strong>County</strong>, while Wexford, Clare and Mayo had n<strong>in</strong>e towns each.<br />
The seaside town of Mullaghmore <strong>in</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sligo had the largest vacancy rate, with four-fifths<br />
of hous<strong>in</strong>g units <strong>in</strong> the town recorded as vacant on <strong>Census</strong> Night.<br />
When holiday homes are excluded Tulsk (51%) and Frenchpark (44%), both <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong>, had<br />
the highest vacancy rates. Four of the seven towns with highest vacancy rates are located <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong>, which seems to have been particularly affected by vacancy <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Towns <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> with a vacancy rate of over 35 per cent <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong>:<br />
30. Tulsk 52.7%<br />
47. Frenchpark 45.2%<br />
58. Roosky 43.3%<br />
66. Ball<strong>in</strong>lough 41.5%<br />
67. Termonbarry 40.7%<br />
76. Ballaghaderreen 38.0%<br />
85. Ball<strong>in</strong>tober 36.3%<br />
On <strong>Census</strong> night, 24.9% (or 7,875) of the 31,585 total permanent dwell<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong><br />
were unoccupied.<br />
20
Dwell<strong>in</strong>gs have more room over the years<br />
A question relat<strong>in</strong>g to the number of rooms with<strong>in</strong> each household has traditionally been asked<br />
on the census form. In <strong>2011</strong>, the respondent was required to state the number of rooms<br />
exclud<strong>in</strong>g bathrooms, toilets, kitchenettes, offices, utility rooms, consult<strong>in</strong>g rooms, shops, halls,<br />
land<strong>in</strong>gs and rooms that can only be used for storage such as cupboards.<br />
New homes<br />
In Laois, 18.1 per cent of all occupied dwell<strong>in</strong>gs with<strong>in</strong> the county were built s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006.<br />
Longford (15.8%) and Cavan (15%) came next <strong>in</strong> the proportion of new homes built s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006.<br />
12.9 per cent of households <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> were built s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006.<br />
Limerick City (4.9%) had the lowest rate of <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> homes constructed between 2006 and<br />
<strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Significant growth <strong>in</strong> rented households<br />
A total of 474,788 households were <strong>in</strong> rented accommodation <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, a considerable rise of<br />
47 per cent from 323,007 <strong>in</strong> 2006. The share of households that were rent<strong>in</strong>g was 29 per cent<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, up from 22 per cent recorded <strong>in</strong> 2006.<br />
Despite the number of owner occupied dwell<strong>in</strong>gs ris<strong>in</strong>g by 5.3 per cent between 2006 and<br />
<strong>2011</strong>, the strong growth <strong>in</strong> rented accommodation has caused the overall home ownership<br />
rate to drop sharply from 74.7 per cent to 69.7 per cent.<br />
21
The growth <strong>in</strong> the rented sector is reflected <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong>. In 2006 2,706 households were<br />
rented (13.1% of the total stock). This had risen to 4,504 households <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> (19.5% of total<br />
stock).<br />
Detached houses still dom<strong>in</strong>ate<br />
Despite the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the number of newly constructed apartments <strong>in</strong> recent years, the<br />
detached house rema<strong>in</strong>s the most common type of accommodation <strong>in</strong> Ireland.<br />
Just over 40 per cent of occupied dwell<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> the State were detached houses <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong>,<br />

<strong>Roscommon</strong> (467%), Leitrim (418%) and Offaly (413%) also experienced significant rises over<br />
the five year period.<br />
One <strong>in</strong> seven households <strong>in</strong> Donegal which were owned with a loan or mortgage had the head<br />

One off hous<strong>in</strong>g<br />
There were a total of 433,564 one off households <strong>in</strong> Ireland, accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>Census</strong> <strong>2011</strong> results.<br />
This equates to a share of 26.3 per cent of all households <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, and is down from 27.1 per<br />
cent <strong>in</strong> 2006 and 28.1 per cent <strong>in</strong> 2002.<br />
When exam<strong>in</strong>ed by their period of construction, one-<strong>in</strong>-four of all private dwell<strong>in</strong>gs built s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />

The married population <strong>in</strong>creased by 9.2 per cent between 2006 and <strong>2011</strong>, grow<strong>in</strong>g from<br />
1,565,016 to 1,708,604. As the population aged 15 and over grew more slowly (6.9% over<br />
the same period), married people as a percentage of the total population <strong>in</strong>creased from<br />
46.4 per cent to 47.3 per cent.<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ce 1996 the proportion of the population who were divorced has grown significantly<br />
from 0.4 per cent (9,787 people) to 2.4 per cent (87,770). There was a correspond<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the numbers who were re-married follow<strong>in</strong>g divorce, from 6,641 <strong>in</strong> 1996 to<br />
42,960 <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
There was a significant fall <strong>in</strong> the proportion who were widowed which fell from 6.7 per<br />
cent to 5.3 per cent over the same period. This corresponds with <strong>in</strong>creased life expectancy<br />
for men.<br />
The share of the population aged 15 and over who were s<strong>in</strong>gle <strong>in</strong>creased from 41.1 per<br />
cent <strong>in</strong> 1996 to 43.1 per cent <strong>in</strong> 2006, but has subsequently fallen back to 41.7 per cent<br />
(1,505,035 people) <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
While married people on their first marriage accounted for 48.5 per cent of the adult<br />
population <strong>in</strong> 1996, this has fallen to 45.1 per cent by 2006, but <strong>in</strong>creased aga<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> to<br />
45.9 per cent. Over the same period, the percentages have rema<strong>in</strong>ed relatively stable for<br />
those re-married follow<strong>in</strong>g widowhood, and for separated people.<br />
Family size has been fall<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> recent years. In 1991 there were 2.0 children on average <strong>in</strong><br />
each family. In 1996 this had fallen to 1.8 children. In 2002 it was 1.6 children and by 2006<br />

There are 16,739 families <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong>, an <strong>in</strong>crease of 13.2 per cent s<strong>in</strong>ce the 2006 <strong>Census</strong>.<br />
Family size<br />
Nationwide, rural families were larger on average than those <strong>in</strong> urban areas. The average<br />
number of children per family was 1.5 <strong>in</strong> rural areas, compared with 1.3 for their urban<br />
counterparts.<br />
There is a clear North-West/South-East divide evident <strong>in</strong> family size. Donegal, Cavan and<br />
Monaghan had the largest families with 2.19 children per family on average. Leitrim and Mayo<br />
(each with 2.17 children per family) were next.<br />
The five cities had the smallest families <strong>in</strong> this category with fewer than 2 children per family<br />
on average. F<strong>in</strong>gal (2.00), South Dubl<strong>in</strong> (2.01) and Wicklow (2.02) also had smaller families than<br />
average.<br />
The average number of children per family <strong>in</strong> <strong>Roscommon</strong> was also 1.4, reflect<strong>in</strong>g the state<br />
average.<br />
31
S<strong>in</strong>gle people<br />
The highest proportions of s<strong>in</strong>gles were <strong>in</strong> the cities, Galway (62.7%), Dubl<strong>in</strong> (60.7%) and Cork<br />
(57.8%). The counties with the lowest proportion s<strong>in</strong>gle were <strong>Roscommon</strong> (50.3%), Leitrim<br />
(50.5%) and Mayo (51.0%).<br />
However, these percentages depend heavily on the underly<strong>in</strong>g age structure of each county.<br />
Younger counties tend to have more s<strong>in</strong>gle people while older counties have more married and<br />
widowed people. Conf<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the analysis to those <strong>in</strong> their forties mitigates these effects.<br />
While the cities still top the board with high proportions of s<strong>in</strong>gles (all the cities have over 25<br />
per cent s<strong>in</strong>gle), more rural counties such as Sligo (23.6%), Leitrim (21.8%) and Kerry (21.8%)<br />
also have high rates of s<strong>in</strong>gle people. And the counties with the lowest percentages of s<strong>in</strong>gle<br />
people are also among those with the youngest overall age such as Meath (15.4%), Kildare<br />
(16.0%) and Cork <strong>County</strong> (17.9%).<br />
Married people<br />
Galway <strong>County</strong> (40.3%), <strong>Roscommon</strong> (40.2%) and Meath (40.0%) had the highest proportions<br />

Roman Catholicism rema<strong>in</strong>ed the predom<strong>in</strong>ant faith of Ireland <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> as it has done, accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to census records, s<strong>in</strong>ce at least 1881. Roman Catholics represented just under 90 per cent of<br />
the population <strong>in</strong> each of the censuses held from 1881 to 1911. It subsequently rose to a peak<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1961. Ever s<strong>in</strong>ce then, its proportion of the total population has decl<strong>in</strong>ed, fall<strong>in</strong>g gently <strong>in</strong> the<br />
sixties and seventies then accelerat<strong>in</strong>g to a more pronounced drop <strong>in</strong> the eighties.<br />
While the proportion of Catholics cont<strong>in</strong>ued to decl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, to reach its lowest po<strong>in</strong>t at 84<br />
per cent, its congregation, at 3.86 million strong, was the highest s<strong>in</strong>ce records began.<br />
Ethnicity<br />
The fastest grow<strong>in</strong>g ethnic group s<strong>in</strong>ce 2006 was “Any other Asian background”, with an<br />
annualised growth of 13.3 per cent. The population of the State grew at 1.6 per cent per<br />
annum while those with Irish ethnicity <strong>in</strong>creased by just 1.0 per cent.<br />
‘Any other White background’ rose by 7.4 per cent annually while the annual <strong>in</strong>crease for<br />
Africans was 7.7 per cent. The largest group <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> was “White Irish” with 3,821,995 (85.8%)<br />
usual residents. This was followed by “Any other White background” (9.3%), non-Ch<strong>in</strong>ese Asian<br />
(1.5%) and “African” (1.3%).<br />
Irish Travellers (29,495) made up 0.6 per cent of the usually resident population while Ch<strong>in</strong>ese<br />

Irish Travellers<br />
The total number of Irish Travellers enumerated <strong>in</strong> April <strong>2011</strong> was 29,573 account<strong>in</strong>g for just<br />

<strong>in</strong>crease on 2006 (22,435).<br />
The overall structure of the Irish Traveller population is very different to that of the general<br />
population. The average age of Irish Travellers was 22.4 compared with 36.1 for the general<br />
