Signature project

Find the average that describes almost nobody

CSO table F7141 gives the home-working answer for every detailed occupation. The learner keeps the 250 occupations with at least 1,000 workers answering and draws how their home-working shares are spread.

Occupations with 1,000 or more workers answering, by the share who work from home at least one day
Share working from home	Occupations
Under 10 percent	77
10 to 20 percent	29
20 to 30 percent	16
30 to 40 percent	16
40 to 50 percent	16
50 to 60 percent	17
60 to 70 percent	21
70 to 80 percent	22
80 to 90 percent	22
90 percent or more	14

Two crowds

The chart has two humps: 77 occupations where fewer than one in ten work from home, and 58 where more than seven in ten do. The national figure of 36.3 percent sits in the thin stretch between them.

Counted in workers

Weighting by the number of workers makes it plainer. 37.6 percent of workers are in occupations below 10 percent, 21.7 percent in occupations above 70, and only 4.9 percent, spread across 19 occupations, sit within five points of the average.

Groups hide the split

Even one familiar group divides sharply. Among teachers, 4.8 percent of primary and nursery teachers work from home against 83.1 percent in further and higher education. A figure for all teachers would describe neither.

Six occupations from the same national table
Occupation	Work from home	Workers answering
Programmers and software development professionals	96.3%	31,571
Further and higher education teaching professionals	83.1%	15,652
Secondary education teaching professionals	10.1%	35,556
Nurses and midwives	6.8%	59,593
Primary and nursery education teaching professionals	4.8%	49,155
Waiters and waitresses	2.1%	11,057

Look at the shape before you quote the average

An average is a fair summary when most values cluster around it. When they split into two groups, the average lands in the gap and describes a worker who barely exists. The defence takes one step: before reporting a mean, draw the distribution. If it has two humps, report the two groups, or the share in each, and say what separates them. Here the separation is the kind of work: programmers at 96.3 percent and primary teachers at 4.8 percent are both part of the same 36.3.

The learner loads the occupation table, computes each occupation's share, and draws two histograms: one counting occupations, one counting workers. Then a short loop finds the occupations within five points of the average and adds up their workers, which gives the 4.9 percent that makes the point. A last step asks for the second-highest share among the 250; it turns out to be programmers and software developers, the occupation many of our learners are working towards, at 96.3 percent.

Portmarnock's own average

A town figure is an average too

Portmarnock's home-working rate is high. It is still an average over very different working weeks.

Second of 94

Of 4,466 working residents who answered, 2,675 work from home at least some of the time, 59.9 percent. Among the 94 towns of 5,000 or more only Malahide, at 60.6, is higher.

What it cannot say

The town tables do not break home-working down by occupation, so this page does not say which jobs Portmarnock's home-workers do. The national pattern only shows how much a single figure can hide.

Two working weeks

In the same town, 904 residents take the train to work and 866 give home as their main place of work. One figure for "home-working" covers both kinds of week and everything between.

What this page does not claim

It does not explain why occupations split as they do, and it does not apply the national occupation shares to Portmarnock. It quotes the national table to show the shape of the data, and the town tables to describe the town.

The town in the census

Learning here

Lessons for Portmarnock learners

Each week normally holds two live lessons, each taught from beginning to end by a teacher.

Primary age

The census-night age table counts 1,123 children aged six to twelve in Portmarnock. They begin with blocks and games, and soon make charts of the things they count.

Secondary age

Portmarnock's 732 residents aged thirteen to eighteen are the right age for Python, websites, AI projects and data analysis on real tables like the one above.

Adults

Adults come at every level, including those who have never written code, and the first lesson places them.

Town counts come from the Central Statistics Office unchanged, and the occupation figures are from its national table F7141 as published. The histograms, weightings and ranks were computed on 19 September 2026. The station details are Irish Rail's own.

Coding and AI

Ask an assistant how common home-working is

It will likely give one percentage. Ask it what the distribution looks like.

An AI assistant asked about home-working in Ireland will usually quote a single national share, since that is the figure most repeated. It is correct and it is misleading, because most workers are in jobs far above or far below it, and a reader who takes the average as typical has learned the wrong thing.

After this project a learner asks a better question: what does the spread look like, and who is near the middle? When the answer is "almost nobody", the average should come with its two groups attached.

Summaries are what assistants do fastest. Checking that a summary fits the shape of the data is still a person's job. The longer argument is in what makes coding worth the effort today.

Delivery

How Portmarnock lessons run

How it works.

Teacher present

Each lesson is taught live, with the teacher responding to the learner's code as they go.

Level first

Groups of five to ten are formed by stage, with learners from Fingal, the rest of Ireland and abroad.

Regular slots

Usually two lessons a week, around eight a month, on fixed days.

Around exams and holidays

The plan leaves room for mid-terms, holidays and exam weeks.

Needed at home

A computer with a keyboard, a way to talk and listen, and a stable home connection, which 3,531 Portmarnock households already have.

One to one

Some learners are better served one to one, for instance when they are well ahead of the groups or can only make an unusual hour.

Online only

Portmarnock learners join every lesson on video. We have no premises in Portmarnock or anywhere in Ireland, and a lesson is the same from any connected home.

FAQ

Portmarnock coding class questions

What Portmarnock families ask first.

How many people live in Portmarnock?

The Census 2022 small area tables count 10,622 usual residents in Portmarnock, in 3,827 households; 3,531 of those households have broadband.

What is the data project on this page?

Drawing the national home-working rate for 250 detailed occupations and finding that almost none are near the average of 36.3 percent. Most occupations sit near none or near all, and only 4.9 percent of workers are in occupations within five points of the average.

Do software developers really work from home that much?

In the census, 96.3 percent of the 31,571 programmers and software development professionals who answered said they work from home at least one day a week, the second-highest share of the 250 occupations.

How do Portmarnock residents get to work?

Of 4,727 working residents in the travel table, 2,130 drive, 904 take the train, 866 work mainly at or from home, 160 use a van and 158 take the bus.

When are lessons?

From mid-afternoon into the evening on weekdays, and at weekends. We set Portmarnock lessons in Irish time; the teachers work from India, four and a half hours ahead while Ireland is on summer time and five and a half once the clocks go back, so only hours that suit both places are offered.

Are adults welcome?

Certainly; learners up to sixty-seven join, whatever their starting point. Adults leave the first lesson with a clear choice between a small group at their level and one-to-one teaching.

Will a Portmarnock learner be grouped with others from the town?

Groups are formed by level, so classmates may be in Fingal, elsewhere in Ireland or abroad.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Portmarnock?

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 Portmarnock 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.
