The age table for the same town has 34 rows. Four steps get from the rows to the figure, and one of them decides whether it can be done at all. Step 1**Match the population.** Add up the age table before anything else.The 34 rows sum to 15,598, the same as the published population of Tullamore. The birthplace and citizenship tables count 15,412 usual residents instead, so they cannot be the base. Across all 867 towns the age-table total equals the published population every time.Step 2**Give every row one age.** A band holds many ages; the formula needs one.There are 20 single years from 0 to 19, 13 five-year bands from 20 to 24 up to 80 to 84, and one open row, 85 and over, which holds 230 people in Tullamore and has no upper edge.Step 3**Choose how an age is counted.** Completed years, or the middle of the year.In completed years somebody who is 38 counts as 38 and a band from 20 to 24 as 22. At the middle of the year the same person counts as 38.5, because on an average day a 38-year-old is halfway to 39, and the band counts as 22.5.Step 4**Compare, then widen.** One town can mislead; run all of them.Round the result to one decimal, as the published figure is, test it against that figure, then repeat for all 867 towns and count how many come out exactly. | Oldest row at | Completed years | Middle of year | Gives 38.1 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 87 | 37.62 | 38.11 | Middle | | 88 | 37.63 | 38.13 | Middle | | 89 | 37.65 | 38.14 | Middle | | 90 | 37.66 | 38.16 | Neither | ### The convention settles itself Counting in completed years, no believable guess about the oldest row reaches 38.1: the 230 people aged 85 and over would need an average age of 116 to 123. Counting at the middle of the year, any average for that row from 85 up to about 89.6 rounds to the published figure. ### Then every town At the middle of the year, with the oldest row set at 88, 517 of the 867 towns come out exactly at their published average age, and 820 land within a tenth of it. Completed years reproduces none of the 867, whichever of the four values is used for the oldest row. ### The misses point both ways Of the 350 towns that miss at all, 170 are rebuilt too high and 180 too low. A wrong method would push nearly all of them one way. A scatter on both sides is what grouping costs when the method is right. ### Which way a rebuilt number misses tells you why it missed A reproduction is an experiment, not a formality. If every rebuilt value comes out low by about half a year, the method differs from the publisher's, and here the fix is to count ages at the middle of the year. If the misses fall on both sides of the target in roughly equal numbers, the method matches and the gap is information the table never contained. Knowing which of the two you are looking at stops the two classic mistakes: blaming the publisher for your own convention, and fiddling with a correct method to chase a rounding difference. In code the whole exercise is small. The learner writes one function that takes the band edges, the counts, a convention and a value for the open row, and returns an average. A second function rounds it to one decimal and compares it with the published figure. A loop sends all 867 towns through both and tallies exact matches, near misses and the direction of every miss. The table above is that program run on one town; the three findings are the same program run on every town. The learner then changes one thing at a time, the convention or the value for the oldest row, and watches the tally move, which is how a guess about how a number was made becomes evidence. What the table cannot hold ## Where grouping costs the most The towns that miss by more than a tenth are not random. Two of the largest misses show the two ways a band loses detail. | Town | Population | Aged 85 and over | Rebuilt | Published | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tyrrellspass, Co Westmeath | 480 | 51, one in ten | 49.91 | 50.3 | | Ballynoe, Co Cork | 211 | none | 36.23 | 36.0 | | Tullamore, Co Offaly | 15,598 | 230 | 38.13 | 38.1 | ### An open row with many people in it In Tyrrellspass 51 of 480 people sit in the row with no upper edge. Whatever single age is assumed for them moves the whole town's average, and the table gives no way to choose it. The open row is one of two sources of error, and it weighs most where, as here, it holds a large share of the town. ### No open row, still a miss Nobody in Ballynoe is 85 or over, yet the rebuilt average is 0.23 years out. The five-year bands are the reason: 211 people spread across bands five years wide can sit near the top or the bottom of each, and the midpoint guess can be off in the same direction several times over. ### Size helps The towns that reproduce exactly have a median population of 772, the towns that miss about 440, and the 47 that miss by more than a tenth just 238. In a large town the errors inside each band tend to cancel, which is why Tullamore, with 15,598 people and 230 in the oldest row, comes out right for any average in that row from 85 to about 89.6. What this page does not claim The rebuild shows that the published averages behave as if ages were counted at the middle of the year. It does not show how the CSO computed them, and nothing here says the published figures are wrong: the misses are the size and the pattern that grouping alone would produce. The town in the census ## Tullamore in the small area tables Published for the town Tullamore, Co Offaly, in the Census 2022 small area tables. Each table counts its own population, which is why two different totals appear. | Counted | Number | | --- | --- | | Usual residents, birthplace table | 15,412 | | Population, age table | 15,598 | | Households | 5,601 | | Households with broadband | 4,530 | | Working residents in the travel table | 6,457 | | Journeys to school, college or childcare | 3,833 | | Children under fifteen in childcare | 869 | | Aged 85 and over | 230 | ### Getting to work Of 6,457 working residents, 3,517 drive, 859 walk, 442 give home as the main answer, 381 ride as a car passenger, 346 go by van, 210 cycle, 146 take the train and 57 the bus. ### Getting to school Of 3,833 journeys to school, college or childcare, 1,772 are made as a car passenger, 760 on foot and 580 by bus, with 98 learners driving themselves, 85 cycling and 77 on the train. ### Working at home Asked the question directly, 1,353 working residents do at least some of their work from home, 4,349 never do and 755 left it blank. Two named places Irish Rail gives the station address as Iarnród Éireann, Kilcruttin, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Eircode R35 RY63, and says sheltered bike parking is available there. The HSE lists Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore at Arden Road, Tullamore, Offaly, R35 NY51. Neither has any connection with us. Learning here ## Lessons for Tullamore learners A fixed hour on two days of most weeks, with the teacher live for all of it. ### Primary school The census counts 1,581 children aged six to twelve in the town. They start with block code, games and puzzles, and meet averages as something a program can work out. ### Secondary school For the 1,266 aged thirteen to eighteen: Python, websites, data and AI projects, including real census tables from the junior cycle on. ### Adults Retired, working shifts or back at a desk after years away, adults start from wherever they are, including from nothing, and the first lesson places them. Census counts are Central Statistics Office figures printed as published, and every rebuilt average on this page came from running the reconstruction over the published age table and table F1015 on 19 September 2026. Irish Rail and the HSE are quoted from their own pages and have no link with us. Learning ladder ## From counting things to checking a statistic Ages are a starting guide; the first lesson finds the real level. Ages 6 to 10 ### Sort and count Block-coded games that sort things into groups and count them, the first step towards any table. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Ages 11 to 13 ### Averages by program Writing code that works out an average, then checking it by hand and finding out when the two disagree. [Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)[Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)Ages 14 to 18 ### Rebuild a statistic Loading real tables in Python, reproducing a published figure and explaining any gap. [Data Science for Teens](/courses/data-science-course-for-teens-python-data)[AI and Machine Learning for Teens](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens)Ages 18 to 67 ### Check before citing Tracing a figure at work back to its table, and saying plainly what it can and cannot support. [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 how old Tullamore is It will answer quickly. Whether the answer is the CSO's depends on a choice it will not mention. Ask an AI assistant to work out the average age from the census bands and it will write correct-looking code in seconds. It has to decide how to count a person who is 38, and nothing in a short request tells it what the CSO did, so it picks. If it picks completed years it prints about 37.6 for Tullamore, confidently, half a year short of the published 38.1. A learner who has done this project asks for the code, runs it, compares the result with the published figure and notices which way it misses. A miss in one direction for every town is a method problem, and the fix is a change of convention, not a change of data. The arithmetic is cheap now. Knowing which arithmetic produced a published number still takes a person who checks. The longer argument is in [why learning to code keeps its worth](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## How Tullamore lessons run The arrangements, in brief. ### Live, not recorded A teacher runs each lesson in real time and responds to the code in front of the learner. ### Matched groups Five to ten learners at one stage, drawn from Offaly, the rest of Ireland and other countries. ### Twice most weeks About eight lessons a month, on days and at an hour agreed at the start. ### Fitted to the school year The plan allows for mid-terms, holidays and the weeks before exams. ### At home A keyboard and a screen wide enough for code beside a video window, a headset or speakers with a microphone, and the ordinary home broadband that 4,530 households here already have. ### Taught alone Some learners are taught on their own, usually because the group at their level meets when they cannot, or because they are ahead of every group running. Nothing to travel to Lessons reach Tullamore over video only. There is no classroom in the town, and the same lesson reaches Clara, Kilbeggan or anywhere else with a connection. Fees ## Fees for Tullamore All of it, in one place. First class**USD 0** A complete first lesson with a level assessment, at no charge. Group tuition**USD 100** A month in a group of five to ten at the same stage, about eight live lessons. Private tuition**USD 150** A month of one-to-one lessons on the same weekly pattern. Nothing is owed for the opening hour; the month begins when the first paid lesson does, at the one US dollar rate used for every country outside India, and the pricing page sets out what happens over holidays, after a missed lesson or on moving between group and private.

Submitted details are used for placement and follow-up. FAQ ## Tullamore coding class questions The questions Tullamore families put to us first. ### How many people live in Tullamore? It depends which census table is asked, and both answers are official. The age table and the published town population give 15,598; the birthplace and citizenship tables count 15,412 usual residents. The town has 5,601 households. ### What is the data project on this page? Rebuilding the published average age of Tullamore, 38.1, from the age table. It only comes out right when each person is counted at the middle of their year of age, and the same program then reproduces 517 of the 867 census towns exactly to one decimal. ### Why do some towns not come out exactly? Because the table groups ages into bands and ends in an open row for 85 and over, so detail is gone before the calculation starts. Of the towns that miss, 170 come out high and 180 low, which is what lost detail looks like rather than a wrong method. ### How do Tullamore residents get to work? Of the 6,457 working residents in the travel table, 3,517 drive, 859 walk, 442 work mainly at or from home, 381 are car passengers, 346 use a van, 210 cycle and 146 take the train. ### When are lessons? After school, in the evening and at weekends. Lessons land in our teachers' evening, four and a half hours later on the clock than yours while Ireland is on summer time and five and a half later in winter, and we agree an hour that suits both seasons. ### Is it too late to start as an adult? No. Learners up to sixty-seven join us, often with no coding behind them, and after the first lesson they either join a group at their level or continue one to one. ### Do learners from outside the town join too? Yes. Lessons are online, so a learner in Clara, Kilbeggan or a farm outside Tullamore gets the same class, and groups are formed by level rather than address. ### Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Tullamore? 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 Tullamore 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.
