167,895 people
CSO Census 2022 table FY001 records a Tipperary population of 167,895, counting both sexes.

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Seventh-largest of 26
Sorting the 26 county populations places Tipperary seventh: six counties larger, nineteen smaller.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:30,000
A reproducible comparison
We use the 26 named counties, excluding the State total. The rank is our calculation from CSO figures.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,000
A different measure
The RSA’s 1 January 2024 release counts sixteen Tipperary deaths in 2023. That is not a population figure.

5
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:50,000
No rate ranking from these alone
A population and a death count do not establish which county had the highest per-capita death rate.
