The figures estimate disposable income per person – this is a person’s annual income after income tax and social insurance.
Last year in Clare, that figure rose by €440 to €18,145, the highest recorded here since 2012.
However, it’s still nearly €4,300 less than the figure for Clare a decade ago, and €6,300 less than the figure for Dublin now.
In fact, the figure for County Clare trails the national average by around €2,500, and is higher than only eight other counties.
