COVID-19 Insight: Mobility During the Pandemic

Series 2 Staying Local Indicator Week ending 15 January 2021

CSO statistical release, 25 January 2021, 11am

Key points

An estimated 66.2% of the population stayed local (within 10k of home) during the week ending 15 January 2021 according to the Staying Local Indicator (SLI), a seven-day rolling average
The SLI increased each day from an annual low on Christmas Eve (51.7%) 2020 to 07 January 2021 (68.6%) before appearing to stabilise at or around 15 January 2021 (66.2%)
Dublin continues to be the county with the highest percentage of the population staying local (78.8%) on week ending 15 January 2021, reflecting its urbanised nature with respect to other counties
With the exception of Mayo, which showed no week on week change, all counties saw modest SLI decreases from week ending 08 January 2021 to week ending 15 January 2021, ranging from 0.2 percentage points (Clare) to 2.3 percentage points (Monaghan), indicating some relaxation of mobility behaviour

This is the second in an insight series on mobility produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The Staying Local Indicator (SLI) provides daily estimated percentages of county populations that have stayed within 10km of home, averaged over the preceding seven days.

The Staying Local Indicator is based on statistical analysis of anonymised, aggregated, mobile phone activity records. Data from Three Ireland is collated from anonymised data sets at a macro scale, aggregated at Electoral Division and provided to the Department of Health. The scope of the arrangement between Three Ireland and the Department of Health is limited to informing the Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic only. This data feeds into wider selection of data used as part of the COVID-19 response. Only aggregated statistical data is provided to the Department of Health. No personal data is provided.

The CSO receives and manages this data on behalf of the Department of Health.
