The learner runs all 66 combinations in steps of a tenth. | Indicator | Skerries | Rank alone | | --- | --- | --- | | Households with broadband | 94.2% | 13th | | Adults with an honours degree or higher | 37.2% | 7th | | Journeys taking under 15 minutes | 37.9% | 26th | ### Equal weights Give each indicator a third of the score and Skerries comes fourth of the 53 towns. On its own that looks like a finding about Skerries. It is really a finding about equal weights. ### Every weighting Across the 66 weightings Skerries ranks anywhere from 3rd to 26th. It is in the top five under 19 of them and the top ten under 47. Put all the weight on short journeys and it falls to 26th. ### Four winners The town in first place changes too: Maynooth under 38 of the weightings, Shannon under 18, Letterkenny under 6 and Portmarnock under 4. Each could headline its own "number one town" list without a single figure being wrong. | Pair of indicators | Correlation | | --- | --- | | Broadband and degrees | 0.70 | | Broadband and short journeys | minus 0.74 | | Degrees and short journeys | minus 0.50 | ### A league table is a set of weights, dressed as a fact When indicators pull in opposite directions, as broadband and short journeys do here, the weights decide the order. Across all 53 towns the median gap between a town's highest and lowest position is 33 places. Any ranking built this way should come with its ingredients, its weights and a note of how far the order moves when the weights change. Without those three, it is an opinion that happens to be arithmetic. The learner computes each share for every town, rescales each so the lowest town scores 0 and the highest 1, and writes a function that takes three weights and returns the ranked list. A double loop generates every weighting that adds to one in steps of a tenth and records where each town lands. From that record come the numbers on this page: Skerries' highest and lowest position, how often each town is first, and how widely each town's rank swings. The final exercise is to write the paragraph that would have to accompany a published version of the table. Reading any ranking ## Three questions for every list of places The same questions work for rankings of towns, schools, universities or products. ### What went in? A different trio of indicators would produce a different table. Choosing them is already a view about what matters. ### How was it weighted? Equal weights sound neutral but are a choice like any other. Here they put Skerries fourth; other defensible weights put it twenty-sixth. ### How much does it move? A result that survives most reasonable weightings is worth reporting. One that flips with small changes is a result about the weights. What this page does not claim The score is made up for teaching and says nothing about where anyone should live. The three indicators were chosen to show the effect of weights, not to measure quality of life, and the towns at the bottom of any weighting are deliberately not named. The town in the census ## Skerries, as recorded in 2022 Census 2022 small area figures for the town of Skerries, Co Dublin, covering people who usually live there and their households. | Topic | Skerries | | --- | --- | | Usual residents | 10,666 | | Households with broadband | 3,410 | | Working residents in the travel table | 4,688 | | Journeys to school, college or childcare | 3,014 | | Children under fifteen in childcare | 836 | | Journeys taking under 15 minutes | 2,315 | | Working residents who take the train | 783 | ### Travelling to work Of 4,688 working residents, 2,146 drive, 841 work mainly at or from home and 783 take the train; 265 walk, 187 go by van, 168 by bus, 93 as a car passenger and 52 by bicycle. ### Travelling to school Of 3,014 journeys to school, college or childcare, 1,284 are on foot and 817 as a car passenger, with 339 by train, 266 by bicycle and 135 by bus. ### Working from home The home-working question drew these answers from Skerries workers: 2,311 at least partly from home, 2,138 never, and 239 unanswered. The station Irish Rail gives the address as Skerries train station, Station Road, Skerries, Co. Dublin, Eircode K34 CF63, with sheltered bike parking. It has no connection with us. The Skerries Mills website refused automated requests on 19 September 2026, so nothing is quoted from it. Learning here ## Lessons for Skerries learners Two teacher-led live lessons fill a normal week. ### Children The census-night age table counts 1,169 children aged six to twelve in Skerries. They begin with blocks and scoring games, and learn that changing the points changes the winner. ### Teenagers The 919 Skerries residents aged thirteen to eighteen are at the point where Python, making websites, AI projects and data work like this weighting exercise make sense. ### Adults Adults start from any level, including none, and the first lesson finds the right course. All census numbers are the Central Statistics Office's as issued. The score is ours, built only to show how weighting works, and all 66 weightings were run on 19 September 2026. The station details come from Irish Rail. Learning ladder ## From points in a game to weights in a ranking Ages are indicative only; the level is found in lesson one.

[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)[Data and AI Analytics for Non-Programmers (Excel, Sheets, Power BI)](/courses/data-and-ai-analytics-for-non-programmers-course)Coding and AI ## Ask an assistant to rank towns for a family move It will give a confident answer. Ask what it weighted and how. An AI assistant asked to rank towns will usually produce a list with reasons, drawing on whatever rankings it has seen. Every such list rests on weights, and on this page four different towns come top from the same three census figures depending on the weights alone. A list that does not show its weights cannot be checked. A learner who has run the 66 weightings asks the assistant to name its criteria, state their weights and say which towns would change places if the weights moved. The answer that comes back is less exciting and far more useful. Rankings are easy to produce. Showing how much of a ranking is choice is what makes it honest. The longer argument is in [why coding repays the time it takes](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026).

Census 2022 recorded 10,666 usual residents in Skerries, and 3,410 of the town's households have broadband. ### What is the data project on this page? Building a made-up score for the 53 towns of 10,000 or more from three census shares, then trying all 66 weightings. Skerries comes fourth with equal weights but anywhere from third to twenty-sixth across the weightings, and four different towns can come first. ### So where does Skerries really rank? There is no single answer. The position depends on which indicators are used and how they are weighted, which is the point of the project; a fair summary is that Skerries is in the top ten under 47 of the 66 weightings tried. ### How do Skerries residents get to work? Of 4,688 working residents in the travel table, 2,146 drive, 841 work mainly at or from home, 783 take the train, 265 walk and 187 use a van. ### When are lessons? On school days from late afternoon, and at weekends. Our teachers are in India, which is four and a half hours ahead of Skerries during Irish summer time and five and a half ahead in winter; Skerries lessons are set in Irish time at hours that suit both. ### Can adults join? They can, up to sixty-seven and with or without experience. Whether an adult is happier in a small group of the same level or learning one to one usually becomes clear in the first lesson. ### Will a Skerries learner be grouped with others from the town? Groups follow level, not address, so classmates may be in Fingal, elsewhere in Ireland or abroad. ### Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Skerries? 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 Skerries 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.
