They look kind of flat to me on the horizontal and vertical sides.

I couldn’t see them at first but now it’s all I see

Does it account for Rathkeale over the coming weeks?

Apparently not

Ah shur thats the entire thing fucked.

Does it say how it actually measures it?

Is it based on census data?

Taken from their website:

The Pobal HP Deprivation Index (Haase and Pratschke, 2017) is the core index for the Republic of Ireland and covers the small areas (SA) of the 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2022 Censuses.

The index is based on the combination of three dimensions of relative affluence and deprivation: Demographic Profile, Social Class Composition, Labour Market Situation.
