Is Mohill a good place to live?
Mohill does especially well on cost of living (A) — half the homes sold for more than €163,000, a price of 4.3 times what the median household earns. Jobs and pay trail most towns: unemployment is 16%, and 63% of 15 to 64s have a job. Most journeys need a car. 14% of commuters walk, cycle or take the bus or train (the typical Irish town: 23%). The rest of its grades are middling: B− for safety and C+ for health.
Figures: prices, Property Price Register, 2023 to 2025 · incomes, CSO · work, commuting and health, CSO Census 2022 · crime, CSO recorded crime, 2023 to 2025. With fewer than 2,500 residents, Mohill gets subject grades but no overall one among Irish towns.
Rents for this town aren't published on their own, so its Cost Grade uses the county's average rent. Health less sure: few enough residents report bad health that the town's figure could be well above or below its true level.
