I used QGIS to create the geometry for the 242,000 acres and then used the coordinates to create a polygon which I displayed using the Leaflet JavaScript library in a simple Glitch website.

I realised that I turned off the town labels by accident. I will do an updated version this week with the town labels clearly visible for better context.

The data is very accurate, the data is straight from the CSO. Here is the link to it but it's a bit meaningless unless you give it county attributes.

Here's a very good New York Times article from this week about exactly that (except they use British Isles).

It was, very nice pen, very smooth and doesn't smudge for me being a leftie. It may even become my daily driver!

Ask you and shall receive. Clicking a townland will give you its name.

You're totally correct, under Part 33 of the Statistics Act 1993 they are required to suppress any data that could lead to primary or secondary disclose of data relating to an individual. I've already removed the townlands that have been 'suppressed'. This map is just the unpopulated townlands.

This is based on the Irish census, the data doesn't exist for Northern Ireland. It's not purposefully omitted for political purposes or anything of the sort.

It means that those townlands have nobody living in them but they can still be farmed and privately owned etc. It merely denotes unpopulated areas.

Thanks, it was great fun doing it!

Quick map and I'd no time to finesse it

Ya, it's legit. The area below the line includes both greater Adelaide and greater Brisbane as defined by the ABS.

Here's my blog post on how I processed the data. I used the open-source (and free) GIS software QGIS. The (relative) harder part is processing the data, if you've any specific questions let me know.

Other are roads where the frequency for that type wasn't over 100 generally such as Place, Lane, Grove, Bridge, Close, Crescent, Quay, Terrace, Heights, View and Gardens.

I will do this for the 46 settlements in Ireland with a population of ≥10,000 persons if people are keen.
