Signature project

Households are not people

Six Census 2022 tables for Ratoath, each labelled with the thing one row of it counts. Counts are published; the division at the end is ours.

What each Ratoath table actually counts
Table	One row counts	Ratoath total
Internet access	A household	3,041
Usual residents by birthplace	A person of any age	10,041
Means of travel to work	A working resident aged 15 or over	4,968
Means of travel to school, college or childcare	A resident making that journey	3,453
Children in childcare	A child under fifteen	792
Highest education completed	A resident aged 15 or over in that table	5,908

What the broadband figure says

2,739 of 3,041 households reported a broadband connection, 90.1% of households by our arithmetic. It does not say 90.1% of residents live with broadband, and nothing in the town tables lets that be worked out.

Why the gap matters here

Dividing 10,041 residents by 3,041 households gives 3.30 people per household, against 2.72 across all towns combined. Ratoath households hold more people than the average town household, so a share of houses and a share of people pull further apart than usual.

The table that would settle it

Internet access crossed by the number of people in the household. The census collects household size and it collects connection type, and the published town tables do not cross them, so the honest answer is that we cannot say.

The unit of analysis, quietly swapped

Accounts reported as users. Devices reported as people. Tickets reported as customers. Households reported as voters. Sessions reported as visitors. In every case the numerator and the denominator count different objects, the ratio still calculates, and the sentence built on it sounds fine. The habit that stops it costs nothing: write the unit beside every figure, in the code and in the report, and refuse to divide two numbers whose units do not match without saying what the result now means.

The project asks for a small program with an unusual rule. Each figure is loaded with its unit attached, as a household count, a person count or a child count. Any division between two different units raises an error rather than returning a number, unless the learner has written a line explaining what the result would mean. Then they compute the two figures this page does stand behind: 90.1% of households with broadband, and 3.30 people per household, both stated with their units, and both labelled as our division of published counts.

Ratoath in the town tables

A town of full houses

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

Ratoath, Census 2022
Measured	Count
Usual residents	10,041
Households	3,041
Households with a broadband connection	2,739
Residents born in Ireland	8,431
Working residents in the travel table	4,968
Children under fifteen in childcare	792

How working residents travel

Of 4,968 working residents, 3,138 drive, 634 give home as their main answer, 330 take a bus, 241 travel by van, 157 go as a car passenger, 132 walk, 43 take a train and 13 cycle.

Home working

Asked directly rather than about a journey, 1,977 working residents do at least some of their work at home, which is 39.8% of that group by our arithmetic.

Households without

66 households reported no internet access at all, 31 reported a connection that is not broadband, and 205 did not state. Those three are different answers and the page keeps them apart.

The secondary school

Ratoath College gives its address as Jamestown, Ratoath, Co. Meath, A85 TW84, and names Louth and Meath Education and Training Board as the body behind it, with registered charity number CHY 20927. We have no connection with the college, and our lessons run outside the school day.

Two columns, two populations

The work journey and the school journey

The travel table publishes these as separate groups, 4,968 working residents and 3,453 travelling to school, college or childcare. They are kept in separate columns here for that reason.

Main means of travel, Ratoath residents
Mode	To work	To school, college or childcare
Car driver	3,138	133
Car passenger	157	1,006
On foot	132	1,522
Bus, minibus or coach	330	442
Bicycle	13	154
Train, DART or Luas	43	15
Work mainly at or from home	634	12
Motorcycle or scooter	16	0

Walking belongs to one column

1,522 of the 3,453 education and childcare journeys are made on foot, against 132 of the 4,968 work journeys. Adding the two would produce a figure describing nobody in particular, so the page does not.

A published zero

No Ratoath resident gave motorcycle or scooter as the main means of getting to school, college or childcare, and the table prints that as 0. A counted zero and a missing answer are different things: 164 education journeys and 258 work journeys were not stated.

Still per person, not per journey

Each row counts people by their main means, so somebody who cycles in summer and takes the bus in winter appears once. These are not counts of journeys made.

The racecourse

Fairyhouse Racecourse publishes its address as Ratoath, Co. Meath, on its own site. It is named here because it is the best known institution carrying the town's address; we have no connection with it and reproduce none of its prices.

Learning in Ratoath

How the teaching works

One agreed hour in the week, a teacher who is present, and a level that matches the learner.

Primary years

Block coding and first projects, taught at an hour that suits a younger child rather than late in the evening.

Secondary years

Python, working websites and AI projects, from first year through to the exam years.

Adults

Data, Python and AI for adults at any level, including the 1,977 residents who already work at home part of the week.

Ratoath College and Fairyhouse Racecourse are named from their own published pages and neither has any link with us. Census counts here are Central Statistics Office Census 2022 figures for the built-up area, reproduced as published. Two figures on this page are ours rather than the CSO's, the 90.1% of households with broadband and the 3.30 people per household, and both are marked as our division wherever they appear, because the point of the page is that a figure without its unit is not yet a fact.

Coding and AI

Ask what share of Ratoath has broadband

The answer will not mention households.

Put the question to an assistant with this table attached and it will return ninety per cent, often phrased as people, sometimes as the town. The arithmetic is right and the unit has quietly changed on the way out. Ask it for the number of residents living with broadband and a plausible figure may appear, built by multiplying a household share by a population, which is a calculation nobody should accept.

A learner who has done this project asks what each figure counts before it is used, and answers the second question with a refusal and a reason: the crossing needed does not exist in the published tables. It is a shorter answer and it is the one that holds.

Models are fluent in numbers and indifferent to units. Supplying the units, and the judgement that goes with them, is still the human contribution. The longer argument is in why it is still worth learning to code.

Delivery

Practical points for Ratoath families

Six things, briefly.

A teacher, not a video

Every lesson is taught as it happens, with the teacher responding to the learner's own screen.

Sorted by level

Groups of five to ten at the same stage, drawn from across Ireland and beyond rather than from one town.

The same hour weekly

Two lessons in most weeks, about eight a month, at a time chosen at the start.

Holidays accounted for

Mid-terms, breaks and exam weeks are built into the plan rather than patched over afterwards.

Equipment

A computer with a keyboard, sound that works, and a household connection steady enough for video.

Private teaching

Where no suitable group sits at a workable hour, the same course runs one to one.

No seat in a car needed

Ratoath sends 3,138 residents out by car to work and 1,006 young people to school as passengers. This is the lesson that happens where the learner already lives.

Fees

Ratoath class fees

Three lines and no extras.

First classUSD 0

A full opening lesson, taught and assessed, charged at nothing.

Group tuitionUSD 100

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

Private tuitionUSD 150

One month of private lessons on the same weekly pattern.

Everything is billed monthly in US dollars, at the one rate that covers families outside India, so the figure a Ratoath household sees is the figure a household in Ashbourne or Bray sees, with no euro column anywhere. The first charge waits until a course and an hour have been agreed in the opening lesson, and the pricing page deals with breaks, missed weeks and moving between a group and private teaching.

FAQ

Ratoath coding class questions

What Ratoath households ask us first.

How many people live in Ratoath?

The Census 2022 small area tables count 10,041 usual residents in the built-up area of Ratoath, living in 3,041 households. Our Meath page uses the census town list, which counts town populations on a slightly different basis.

What is the Ratoath data project?

Learners label six of the town's census tables with the thing each one counts, a household, a person, a child, then show why the 90.1% of households with broadband cannot be restated as a share of residents, and compute the 3.30 people per household that makes the gap wider here than in most towns.

Why does the difference between households and people matter?

Because the two are divided by different denominators. A share of households says nothing directly about how many residents that covers, and in a town with larger households the same percentage reaches more people than it would elsewhere.

How do Ratoath residents get to work?

Of the 4,968 working residents in the travel table, 3,138 drive, 634 give working mainly at or from home, 330 take a bus, 241 use a van, 157 travel as a car passenger, 132 walk, 43 take a train and 13 cycle.

What times can lessons be held?

Afternoons after school, evenings and weekend mornings. The teaching team is based in India, which is four and a half hours in front of Dublin during Irish summer time and five and a half hours in front of it in winter, and a suitable weekly hour is agreed at the free lesson.

Do you take adults in Ratoath?

Yes, to the age of sixty-seven and from no experience at all. After the free lesson an adult is placed with a group at the same level or taught privately.

Does a learner need their own computer?

They need access to one for the lesson, with a keyboard and working sound. A phone is not enough, and nothing needs to be bought before the free lesson.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Ratoath?

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 Ratoath 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.
