Map 1.3 Single population by Census Settlement, 2016 In Balbriggan the proportion of single men (40.7%) and women (40.4%) was broadly similar. There were similar differences in Clonmel and Athlone. In Portlaoise the difference was highest with 3,915 (46%) single males out of 8,512 males aged 15 or over compared with 3,151 (39.8%) single females out of 7,916. In all the large towns men were more likely to be single than women. While Rosslare, Portmarnock and Bearna had the lowest proportion of single people in small and medium sized towns. Of the small and medium sized towns (population 1,500 - 10,000) Mountrath, Fethard and Lifford were the top three towns with the highest percentage of single people (46 - 48%). Among the largest towns Malahide and Greystones had the lowest proportions of single people at 32.7 per cent and 33.3 per cent respectively. Towns with a population of 10,000 or more had high rates of single people, in particular Maynooth and Sligo (both with large cohorts of students) had an excess of 50 per cent of their population who were single. Map 1.3 below shows the proportion of single persons aged 15 and over by settlement in 2016. Interactive Table: StatBank Link E4019 Single people by census town Also the counties with the lowest percentages of single people are also among those with the youngest overall age such as Meath (18.4 per cent), Kildare (19.7 per cent) and Monaghan (20.5 per cent). While the cities still top the board with high proportions of singles (all the cities have over 36 per cent single), more rural counties such as Sligo (26.5 per cent), Kerry (25.1 per cent) and Mayo (24.7 per cent) also have high rates of single people. Map 1.1 below shows the percentage of the population of each county who were single.Ĭonfining the analysis to those in their forties mitigates these effects as seen in Map 1.2 below which shows a slightly different picture. Younger counties tend to have more single people, while older counties have more married and widowed people. However these percentages depend heavily on the underlying age structure of each county. The counties with the lowest proportion of single people were Leitrim (35.8 per cent), Roscommon (36 per cent) and Meath (36.3 per cent). Galway had the highest at 53.3 per cent, followed by Dublin (53.2 per cent) and Cork (51.9 per cent). The highest proportions of single people, aged 15 years or over, were in the cities. 79 - The age at which women were more likely to be widowed than married.32,225 - more separated and divorced women than men.53 - The peak age for separation and divorce.35 - The age at which men were more likely to be married than single.33 - The age at which women were more likely to be married than single.The proportion who were widowed fell from 5.3 per cent in 2011 to 5.2 per cent in 2016, however the actual number of widowed persons increased from 191,059 to 196,227.
