Dublin 2 is the wealthiest part of Ireland, while an area on Limerick city's north side is the most disadvantaged.
That's according to a new report that identifies the country's richest and poorest communities.
It also shows that small rural towns are benefiting less from the economic recovery.
Kim Buckley reports:
Dublin has benefitted much more from the upturn in the economy than any other part of the country, while small rural towns have been hit the hardest by the recession and are recovering more slowly.
That's according to the Pobal deprivation index.
The report is based on Census 2016 results and classes areas based on things like education, lone parents, skilled or professional workers, unemployment, and rented accommodation
It's found that Dublin 2 around Grafton Street is the richest area in Ireland while St Mary’s Park in Limerick city is the most disadvantaged,
In the past 10 years small towns, with a population of between 1,000 and 5,000 people, were worst hit by the recession and benefited less from the recovery.
