    È davvero possibile che la popolazione della città di Cork non sia aumentata negli ultimi 20 anni?

      East Cork has grown significantly in the past 10 years plus, which falls outside of the city boundary

      Home building only probably took off again after 2016.

      Cork City barely increased in population from about 1920 to 2016 or so, but it’s not a good figure to use. The Cork City boundary was largely static until it was expanded in 2019, and much of the growth in the population of the city occurred outside the city boundary in areas like Douglas, Blarney, Glanmire, Ballincollig etc. A lot of suburban growth within the bounds saw populations moved from inner city slums out to new areas like Mahon and Togher, without much of a net gain in population.

      Even with the boundary expansion significant suburban towns are still outside the city boundary, like Little Island, Cobh, Midleton and Carrigaline.

      The true urban bounds population of Cork is now about 225k, with the ‘metro’ population being closer to 300k. County Cork has about 600k.

      Yep. The locals have all moved to Dublin to enjoy life in the real capital.

      Nobody living in cork wants to leave, and nobody from elsewhere could bear to live there.

      Cork people are like diamonds. Our numbers are strictly policed so that we don’t release too many onto the market.

      The population has both increased and decreased, just by roughly the same about and at the same time.

      Nope, Cork had a population of 186k in 2002 and had a population of 223k in 2022. An increase of 20% in 20 years. The source you are using is the old city council area (which was disbanded in 2017) and seems to be wrong anyway. The new city council area is also a political compromise but the CSO (separate to council boundaries) defines “urban areas” which are the best definitions of cities we have in Ireland. These also work best for Dublins population as they also have a convoluted council network. The CSO did actually give a population for the pre 2017 boundary in the 2022 census and that was 130k.

      Dublin and Galway also grew by 20%, almost exactly the same as Cork and Limerick grew by 17% over the same time period.

      The city boundary was largely commercial space and older inner suburbs. The population growth was petty rapid in the suburbs. The official city pop ie 224,000 and the metro population, which would include the likes of Carrigaline etc is about 300,000-320,000.
