Figure is based on the maximum mortgage draw-down for Kildare's median wage.
There's a €113,000 disparity between average Kildare house prices and the maximum mortgage allowable on the median wage.
An analysis of CSO data shows a person on a median income and a 20 percent deposit can only buy a home in Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Longford, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.
The maxium mortgage available in Kildare on a median salary is € 207,307
The median house price here is € 320,000
Kieran McQuinn, a research professor at the ESRI, says the result illustrates Ireland's high property prices.
Estimated max mortgage for someone earning the median wage and with a 20% deposit:
Dublin: €217,000
Kildare: €207,307
Wicklow: €204,246
Meath: €193,335
Louth: €166,671

Dublin (Fingal): €352,000
Kildare: €320,000
Wicklow: €349,000
