Your post earlier from out of work mapper Omar reminded me of this one I made last year. The dark squares are the bits where nobody lives (square kilometres with 0 population) according to the 2011 census. Data from CSO…

No one wants to live in Donegal, Galway or Mayo….

Pretty difficult to populate counties which are mainly made up of mountains.

We’re fairly densely packed in Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry, Antrim, Down and Armagh. Even on Lough Neagh.

Now that’s a decent map. I’m moving to all of those places.

Nice!
Now I bet if we were to overlay caves and wells we’ld find a secret locations where people have stashed treasure … Or the IRA hide/hid guns!

Should say where the area is thinly populated. I’ve a cousin who lives in Ballinacarrick, Donegal right in the middle of the black space. To be sure it is sparsely populated but not uninhabited.

The dark squares have zero population, according to the Census 2011 information from the CSO. I’m not familiar with Ballinacarrick, but it appears on Google Maps to be West of most of the blacked-out area nearby. Perhaps there’s an inaccuracy with the Census data, but it’s reported as zero population.
