Glenties was the Local Electoral Area (LEA) with the highest number of vacant dwellings in Ireland in the last quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n

According to the latest data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the area had 1,636 empty units in that period.<\/p>\n

The LEA with the lowest number in Ireland was in Leixlip, Kildare with just 81.<\/p>\n

The figures were based on metered electricity consumption 2023.<\/p>\n

Nationally, 72,254 dwellings were vacant in Q4 2023, which was down from 76,457 in Q4 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Commenting on the release, Steven Conroy, Statistician in the Housing Division, said: \u201cToday\u2019s release identifies dwellings which were classified as vacant based on low levels of electricity consumption of around 2kWh per day, or 180kWh per quarter, over a period of at least four consecutive quarters. For context, 2kWh consumption is enough to power a medium-sized fridge for a day. This methodology provides insight into where vacant dwellings are and how vacancy rates have changed over time\u201d. <\/p>\n

The CSO has previously published Metered Electricity Consumption and Vacant Dwelling Indicators based on Metered Electricity Consumption 2021 using data provided by ESB Networks.<\/p>\n
