Dublin continues to have the highest disposable income per person, 18% above the state average

The average income in Kildare is closest to the state average at €23,554 per person.

Dublin continued to have the highest disposable income per person in Ireland in 2020, at €27,688, that's 18% higher than the state average.

The capital was followed by Cork and Limerick.

CSO figures show Donegal recorded the lowest income per person, at just over €18,300.

More than a third of all employed persons in the country worked in Dublin and 12% worked in Cork.

The Midlands region continues to be the poorest in terms of disposable income, income in the region accounts for €5.8 billion overall and is 18.7% below the state average per person.

Despite this, the Midlands have seen an 10.6% increase in average income per person to €17,243 from 2019.

The Midland, Border and West regions also record per capita income significantly below the state average.

Since 2004, the Border, West and Midland NUTS2 regions have never reported a per capita disposable income greater than the state average.

On the other hand, Dublin’s per capita income has consistently remained significantly above the state average over the same period.
