Historical
Population Figures for County Kerry
1841—2006
Source: www.cso.ie
The current (2006) population of Co. Kerry is approx. 47% of the total for 1841.
The population decreased to 112,772 in 1971 which was approx. 38% of the 1841 high.
The 2011 Census, in April, may not be too indicative of the declining trend in the Co. Kerry population but future ones will be.
In future years the numbers in the age group 18-30yrs. should be interesting as these are most likely to emigrate.
During the 1980’s, nationally, 30,000-40,000 people in the 18-30 age group emigrated annually.
