Signature project

No margin of error, and still a range

Four Kilkenny figures, each shown as the lowest and highest value consistent with the published counts once the unanswered rows are taken into account. Counts are published; both bounds are our arithmetic.

What the not-stated rows do to four figures
Figure	Counted	Not stated	Lowest	Highest
Working residents walking to work	2,003 of 11,832	738	16.93%	23.17%
Working residents cycling to work	380 of 11,832	738	3.21%	9.45%
Households reporting broadband	8,212 of 10,050	746	81.71%	89.13%
Education journeys made on foot	1,896 of 6,547	569	28.96%	37.65%

Why there is no margin of error

Sampling error measures how much a result might move if a different sample had been drawn. The census draws no sample: it attempts to count everybody. There is therefore no interval of that kind to report, and quoting one would be inventing a quantity.

What is uncertain instead

Answers that were never given, which the bounds above cover. Self-reported main mode, which compresses mixed journeys into one word. One day in April, which may not be a typical day. And definitions set by the form rather than by the reader.

How to report it

Give the counted share, name the unanswered count, and state the bound. The sentence that survives scrutiny is that between 16.93% and 23.17% of Kilkenny working residents walk to work, and the width of that gap is exactly the price of 738 unanswered questions.

No error bar is not the same as no doubt

The same trap waits inside every complete dataset an organisation owns. All your customers, not a sample of them, so no margin of error: and then a tenth of the records have no region set, some accounts are duplicated, and the export ran at a different hour than last month. None of that produces a confidence interval, and all of it moves the answer. Bounds are the honest tool: compute the figure with the unknowns counted every way they could go, publish the range, and let the width of it argue for fixing the collection.

The project is a small function with three inputs, the counted value, the not-stated value and the total, returning both bounds and the width between them. The learner runs it on the four Kilkenny figures above, then on a column with almost no missing answers, and sees the range collapse. The point lands without a lecture: the tighter the collection, the narrower the honest claim, and a figure quoted without its unanswered rows is a claim somebody else cannot check.

Kilkenny in the town tables

The counted town

Published for the built-up area Kilkenny, Co Kilkenny, in the Census 2022 small area tables.

Kilkenny, Census 2022
Measured	Count
Usual residents	26,697
Households	10,050
Households reporting broadband	8,212
Working residents in the travel table	11,832
Working residents walking to work	2,003
Children under fifteen in childcare	1,722

The work journey

Of 11,832 working residents, 6,150 drive, 2,003 walk, 1,132 give home as their main answer, 738 did not state, 559 travel by van, 543 go as a car passenger, 380 cycle, 188 take a bus and 75 a train.

The education journey

Of 6,547 journeys to school, college or childcare, 3,033 are as a car passenger, 1,896 on foot, 594 by bus, 225 driving, 123 by bicycle and 51 by train, with 569 not stated.

Home working

A separate table records 3,084 working residents doing at least some work at home, 7,532 who never do and 1,216 who did not state.

The station

Irish Rail gives Kilkenny MacDonagh as Carlow Road, Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny, open from 06:00 to 23:00, staffed to the same hours Monday to Saturday, with a booking office on weekday mornings and early afternoons, toilets, an enclosed waiting room and free Wi-Fi. The eircode is printed on that page with three characters after the routing key where an eircode carries four, and we quote pages as they stand rather than correcting them.

Four kinds of doubt

What could still be wrong, and what could not

Applied to the Kilkenny walking figure, one line each.

Sources of uncertainty in a complete count
Kind	Present here	What it does to the figure
Sampling error	No	Nothing. Nobody was sampled, so no interval of that kind exists
Unanswered questions	Yes, 738	Widens the share to a range from 16.93% to 23.17%
Self-reported main mode	Yes	Compresses mixed journeys into one answer each, so no row counts all users of a mode
One day in April 2022	Yes	Says nothing about other days, weeks or seasons
Definitions set by the form	Yes	Bus, minibus and coach are one row; the reader cannot separate them

Only one of these is arithmetic

The bound can be computed exactly. The other three are limits on what the question can answer, and no amount of calculation improves them. Saying which kind you are dealing with is half of handling it.

Why the walking figure was chosen

It is the town's most distinctive travel number, 2,003 of 11,832 against a much lower share across all towns combined, and it is the one a reader would be most tempted to quote as a single tidy percentage.

No explanation offered

Why walking is high here is not in these tables. Compactness, distances and habits are all candidates, none is measured, and the page does not choose between them.

The gallery

Butler Gallery gives its address as Evans' Home, John's Quay, Kilkenny, R95 YX3F, publishes registered charity numbers 20038977 and CHY12922, opens daily with a late evening on Thursdays and shorter Sunday hours, and states free entry. We have no connection with it.

Learning in Kilkenny

How the lessons run

A fixed hour each week, a teacher present throughout, and work at the learner's level.

Primary years

Block coding and small games, taught early enough in the evening for younger learners.

Secondary years

Python, working websites and AI projects from the junior cycle into the exam years.

Adults

Data, Python and AI for adults at any level, including the 3,084 residents already doing some work at home.

Irish Rail and Butler Gallery are named from their own published pages and neither has a connection with us, nor does Kilkenny County Council. Census counts appear exactly as the Central Statistics Office published them for this built-up area. The bounds and shares are ours, computed by dividing published counts, and each is printed with the unanswered count it depends on, because on this page a percentage without that number is only part of a figure.

Learning ladder

From a missing answer to an honest range

Ages guide the choice; the opening lesson sets the level.

Ages 6 to 10

When something is missing

Programs that handle a blank answer instead of crashing or pretending it was a zero.

Coding for Kids Scratch Coding for Kids

Ages 11 to 13

Highest and lowest

Working out the best and worst case in Python, and checking the real answer sits between.

Python and AI for Kids Maths Through Coding

Ages 14 to 18

Reporting with gaps

Handling missing data in real datasets and publishing a range rather than a guess.

Data Science for Teens Python for Teens

Ages 18 to 67

Confidence and its absence

Knowing when an interval belongs on a figure at work and when a bound is the honest tool.

Coding and AI

Ask for a margin of error on a census figure

One will often be supplied.

Models are fluent in the vocabulary of statistics, and a request for a confidence interval on a complete count usually produces something that looks like one. There is nothing to be confident about in that sense, because nobody sampled anything, and the figure that actually needs qualifying, the 738 people who did not answer, is rarely mentioned.

A learner who has done this project asks a sharper question: what is missing, how much of it is there, and what would the answer be at both extremes. That reply has no jargon in it and cannot be quietly wrong.

Borrowing statistical language is easy. Knowing which uncertainty you actually face is the part worth teaching, and it starts with one column of unanswered questions in one town. The longer argument is in why coding earns its place in a week.

Delivery

Practical points for Kilkenny families

Six lines.

Live teaching

A teacher present for the whole hour, working from the learner's own screen.

Grouped by level

Five to ten learners at one stage, from Kilkenny, the rest of Ireland and abroad.

Two lessons a week

Roughly eight a month, in an hour agreed at the start and then kept.

Around the term

Mid-terms, holidays and exam weeks are built into the plan in advance.

What is needed

Something with a proper keyboard, a microphone the teacher can hear, and enough bandwidth to hold a video call.

One to one

When the timetable and the level cannot be reconciled in a group, the same course is taught privately.

Nothing assumed about a learner

The opening lesson exists because a form cannot tell us what somebody can already do. We would rather find out than infer it, which is the same instinct the project above teaches.

Fees

Kilkenny class fees

Three lines and no extras.

First classUSD 0

A complete opening lesson, taught and assessed, at no charge.

Group tuitionUSD 100

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

Private tuitionUSD 150

A month of one to one teaching on the same weekly pattern.

Fees are monthly, in US dollars, at the one rate for families outside India, so Kilkenny sees the same figure as Carlow or Waterford and there is no euro column anywhere on the page. No money changes hands until a level, a course and a time are settled, which is what the free hour is for, and the pricing page carries the rules on holidays, a lesson missed and a change of format.

FAQ

Kilkenny coding class questions

The questions Kilkenny families ask first.

How many people live in Kilkenny?

The Census 2022 small area tables count 26,697 usual residents in the built-up area of Kilkenny, in 10,050 households. County figures belong to our County Kilkenny page, which uses its own sources.

What is the Kilkenny data project?

Learners take four town figures and compute the lowest and highest value each could take once the unanswered rows are counted both ways, so the walking share becomes a range from 16.93% to 23.17% rather than a single tidy percentage.

Does a census have a margin of error?

Not of the sampling kind, because nobody was sampled. What it has is unanswered questions, self-reported answers, a single reference day and definitions set by the form, and only the first of those can be handled with arithmetic.

How do Kilkenny residents travel to work?

Of 11,832 working residents, 6,150 drive, 2,003 walk, 1,132 give working mainly at or from home, 559 use a van, 543 travel as a car passenger, 380 cycle, 188 take a bus and 75 a train, with 738 not stating a mode.

What hours do lessons run?

Late afternoons, evenings and weekend mornings. The teaching team is in India, which sits four and a half hours ahead of Irish clocks in summer and five and a half in winter, and a workable weekly hour is agreed in the opening lesson.

Can an adult in Kilkenny learn from scratch?

Yes, up to the age of sixty-seven. The opening lesson decides whether an adult joins a group at the same stage or works one to one with a teacher.

What happens if a learner falls behind?

The group is chosen to fit, and if it stops fitting we move the learner rather than letting them struggle through a course pitched at somebody else.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Kilkenny?

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 Kilkenny 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.
