Signature project

Two honest rates, no official name

One numerator and two denominators, all four figures taken from the same Census 2022 table for Drogheda. The percentages are ours.

Building a rate from the principal economic status table
Part of the calculation	Rows used, as published	Figure
Numerator	Looking for first regular job, short term unemployed, long term unemployed	2,450
Denominator one	Everyone aged 15 and over in the table	35,128
Result one	Our division	7.0%
Denominator two	At work, 19,291, plus the three rows above	21,741
Result two	Our division	11.3%
Same pair, all towns combined	Same rows, all-towns row of the table	5.7% and 9.2%

The grouping is a choice too

The table publishes three separate rows and we added them. Somebody counting only the two described as unemployed would start from 2,012 instead of 2,450, and get different percentages from identical data. The grouping belongs in the definition.

Both denominators are reasonable

Everyone aged fifteen and over is a clean, stated population. People at work plus people looking for work is closer to what most readers picture. Neither is wrong; publishing a percentage without saying which was used is.

The name is the part that travels

A number quoted onwards loses its footnotes within one forward. Give it an official-sounding name and it will be compared with official series that were built differently. Our figures are described as our division of one census table, every time they appear.

Rates that need their definition attached

Conversion rate: out of visitors, sessions, or qualified leads. Churn rate: by customer, by revenue, monthly or annual. Vacancy rate: of posts, of budgeted posts, or of headcount. Pass rate: of entrants, of those who finished, or of those who sat the paper. In each case several honest numbers exist, they can differ by a factor rather than a few points, and the argument that follows is usually about definitions while sounding like it is about facts. A number that carries its own definition ends that argument before it starts.

The project is a function with one required extra return value. Given the rows and a chosen denominator it returns the percentage and a definition string naming the numerator rows, the denominator and the table, and the program prints the two together or not at all. The learner produces both Drogheda figures, 7.0% and 11.3%, and then writes the sentence that a careless version would have produced instead, so that the difference between the two is on the page in front of them.

Drogheda in the town tables

The town as the census counts it

The CSO publishes this built-up area as Drogheda, Counties Louth and Meath, since the town sits on both sides of the Boyne and the county boundary. All figures below are for that area.

Drogheda, Census 2022
Measured	Count
Usual residents	43,929
Households	15,751
Households with a broadband connection	12,860
Working residents in the travel table	19,199
Working residents who drive	9,508
Children under fifteen in childcare	2,457

How working residents travel

Of 19,199, some 9,508 drive, 2,739 walk, 1,552 give home as their main answer, 1,126 take a bus, 1,025 travel as a car passenger, 822 use a van, 445 take a train and 291 cycle.

Broadband

12,860 of 15,751 households report broadband, 81.6% by our arithmetic, with 1,223 reporting no internet access, 277 another kind of connection and 1,391 not stating.

Working from home

A separate table records 4,530 working residents doing at least some work at home, 12,291 who never do and 2,378 who did not state.

The station

Irish Rail gives Drogheda (MacBride) as McBride Station, Dublin Road, Drogheda, Co. Louth, Eircode A92 W422. It is staffed from 05:30 until 01:30 on weekdays, with a booking office in the mornings, toilets, an enclosed waiting room, free Wi-Fi, a weekday coffee cart, a drinks machine on platform 1 and a filtered water refill unit.

The table in full

Every row, with the wording the census uses

The principal economic status table for Drogheda, all rows, out of 35,128 people aged fifteen and over. The labels are the table's own and the shares are ours.

Principal economic status, Drogheda residents aged 15 and over
Row as published	People	Share
At work	19,291	54.9%
Retired	5,084	14.5%
Student	3,853	11.0%
Looking after home or family	2,318	6.6%
Unable to work due to permanent sickness or disability	1,914	5.4%
Long term unemployed	1,287	3.7%
Short term unemployed	725	2.1%
Looking for first regular job	438	1.2%
Other	218	0.6%

Nine rows, one person each

Everybody aged fifteen and over appears once, under the status recorded for them, so the rows sum to 35,128 and the shares sum to 100% give or take rounding. That is what makes any rate built from them arithmetically clean.

Words matter in a table too

Short term and long term unemployed are separate published rows, as is looking for a first regular job. Reporting any total built from them without naming which rows went in leaves a reader unable to check the figure.

No commentary attached

This page counts and labels. It offers no explanation for the size of any row, and nothing here is advice to anybody about work, study or benefits.

The town gallery

Highlanes Gallery describes itself as Drogheda's Municipal Art Gallery, at 36 Saint Laurence Street, A92 F7PH, open from 10.30 to 5.00 Tuesday to Saturday. Its own site records that the gallery opened on 4 October 2006 and that the Drogheda Municipal Art Collection has grown to more than 100 artworks. We have no connection with it and reproduce none of its prices.

Learning in Drogheda

How a course runs from here

A weekly hour, a teacher who stays for all of it, and work set at the learner's own level.

Primary

Block coding and small games, taught early enough in the evening to suit a younger child.

Secondary

Python, real websites and AI projects, from the junior years through to the exam classes.

Adults

Data, Python and AI for adults at any starting point, including the 4,530 residents already working from home part of the week.

Irish Rail and Highlanes Gallery are named only from their own published pages, and neither is connected with us, nor is Louth County Council or Meath County Council. Census counts on this page come from Central Statistics Office Census 2022 tables for this built-up area, unchanged. The two rates in the project and the 81.6% broadband figure are ours, each printed with the rows and the denominator used, and none of them is given an official name, because a derived figure that borrows one is the exact mistake this page is written about.

Ask for the unemployment rate in Drogheda

Something will come back, named as though it were official.

Hand a model this table and ask for a rate and it will divide two numbers and hand back a percentage, usually without saying which rows it summed or which denominator it used. Ask twice and the figure can change. Neither reply is likely to point out that the phrase requested names a statistic produced elsewhere, on a different basis.

A learner who has built the definition string asks the question properly and answers it properly: here is the numerator, here is the denominator, here is the table, and here is why this is not the official series. It takes one extra sentence and it is the sentence that makes the number usable.

Calculating is the easy half. Saying exactly what was calculated, and refusing a name the figure has not earned, is the half worth teaching. The longer argument is in why learning to code is still worth it.

Delivery

Practicalities for a Drogheda household

Six short points.

Taught as it happens

A teacher on the call throughout, working from the learner's screen rather than a script.

Levels, not year groups

Five to ten learners at the same stage, from Drogheda, elsewhere in Ireland and other countries.

Two a week

Roughly eight lessons a month, in a slot fixed once and then protected.

Term dates first

Mid-terms, holidays and exam weeks are agreed into the plan before lessons start.

What is needed

A computer with a keyboard, working sound, and a household connection that carries video.

One to one

Where nothing at the right level runs at a workable hour, the course is taught privately.

The lesson with no journey

Drogheda sends 9,508 residents out by car each working day and 445 by train. The coding lesson is the appointment that stays at the kitchen table.

Fees

Drogheda class fees

Three lines, all of it.

First classUSD 0

A full opening lesson, taught and assessed, at no cost.

Group tuitionUSD 100

One month in an ability group of five to ten, about eight live lessons.

Private tuitionUSD 150

One month of private teaching on the same weekly pattern.

Fees are monthly and priced in US dollars on the single rate for families outside India, so Drogheda sees the same figure as Dundalk or Navan and no euro list beside it. Nothing is charged until the opening lesson has fixed a course and an hour, and the pricing page explains breaks, missed weeks and moves between group and private teaching.

FAQ

Drogheda coding class questions

What Drogheda families ask us first.

How many people live in Drogheda?

The Census 2022 small area tables count 43,929 usual residents in the built-up area, which the CSO publishes as Drogheda, Counties Louth and Meath because the town crosses the county boundary. Our Louth page works through how a cross-county town is handled in the county figures.

What is the Drogheda data project?

Learners build a rate from the town's principal economic status table twice over: 2,450 people across three published rows, divided first by the 35,128 aged fifteen and over for 7.0%, then by the 21,741 at work or in those rows for 11.3%, with a definition string printed beside each figure.

Is 11.3% the unemployment rate in Drogheda?

No, and the page never calls it that. It is our division of three rows of one census table by a denominator we chose and named. The unemployment rate is a statistic the Central Statistics Office publishes from its own series, built on its own definitions.

How do Drogheda residents travel to work?

Of the 19,199 working residents in the travel table, 9,508 drive, 2,739 walk, 1,552 give working mainly at or from home, 1,126 take a bus, 1,025 go as a car passenger, 822 use a van, 445 take a train and 291 cycle.

What times do lessons run?

Afternoons, evenings and weekend mornings. The teachers are in India, whose clocks lead Irish ones by four and a half hours in summer and five and a half in winter, and we fix a weekly hour that works at both ends during the free lesson.

Do you teach adults in Drogheda?

Yes, to the age of sixty-seven, beginners included. After the free lesson an adult joins a group at their own level or is taught one to one.

What if a learner misses a lesson?

Tell us in advance where possible. The pricing page sets out how missed lessons and short breaks are handled, and nothing is decided after the fact.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Drogheda?

No, and we never imply one. Teaching is live over video only, with no premises in Ireland. A learner needs a laptop or desktop, working sound and a steady connection, and the number shown here belongs to India.

What do coding classes in Drogheda cost?

The first lesson is free. After that a shared place costs USD 100 a month and brings two live lessons a week, about eight monthly, with five to ten learners; one to one on the same schedule is USD 150 a month. Everything is agreed before payment.

How many learners are in a group?

Five to ten, grouped by ability, pace and goal rather than age or address. Where nothing suitable meets at a workable hour, we teach one to one instead.
