Safety Guide in Co. Dublin, Leinster
Dublin is a mixed picture for safety: some neighbourhoods have very low crime while others see higher rates of property crime and anti-social behaviour. CSO crime statistics under the DMR Garda division show that crime varies significantly by area within the county. PropertyPack provides address-level crime data for any Eircode in Dublin, broken down by offence type, so you can make a safety assessment specific to your street, not just the county average.

PropertyPack covers all 10 of these categories in a single report for any Eircode.
Risk levels vary across Dublin depending on which factor you're considering. Properties away from Liffey and Dodder and Tolka flood plains have lower flood risk.
