It is an informal but commonly used term. In comparison to the city's [[Northside, Dublin|Northside]], it has historically been regarded as wealthier and more privileged, with several notable exceptions. [[Malahide]], one of the wealthiest areas in Ireland, is on the Northside, for example, whereas low-income districts such as [[Jobstown]] and [[Sallynoggin]] are part of the Southside. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theculturetrip.com/europe/ireland/articles/whats-with-dublins-north-south-divide/|title = What's with Dublin's North-South Divide?|date = 11 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dublin.ie/live/stories/is-northsidesouthside-still-a-thing/|title = Is Northside/Southside still a thing?}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Mcmorrow|first=Kate|title=Howth|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/howth-1.251368|access-date=2022-01-01|website=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Gleeson|first=Colin|title=Households in Malahide enjoy highest incomes in State|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/households-in-malahide-enjoy-highest-incomes-in-state-1.3932426|access-date=2022-01-01|website=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref> 

==Areas of the Southside==
The Southside includes Dublin city centre south of the Liffey, including [[Grafton Street]] and other notable streets, and also inner city areas such as [[The Liberties]] / [[The Coombe, Dublin|The Coombe]] and [[Temple Bar, Dublin|Temple Bar]].

Beyond the city centre, the Southside (in the geographical sense) includes the districts named here, most of the names being old, though many were until recent times rural [[townlands]]:

Traditionally, [[Dublin postal districts]] on Southside begin with even numbers, while those of the [[Northside, Dublin|Northside]] begin with odd numbers. [[College Green, Dublin|College Green]] for example, is in the city's D02 district—simply called "Dublin 2" in everyday speech—whereas the outer suburb of [[Tallaght]] is in D24. One exception to this rule is the [[Phoenix Park]], which forms part of the even-numbered district D08, but is actually on the Northside. Historian [[Pat Liddy]] explains this discrepancy{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}}: "Long before there were postal codes, the [[James's Street, Dublin|James's Street]] Postal Sorting Office looked after the Phoenix Park, because it was considered to be closer and more convenient than Phibsborough. James's Street continued in this role when the postal codes were introduced, so Dublin 8 it had to be." 

The outer edges of the Southside and substantial parts of [[Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown|Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown]] contain those new "A" postcode areas that have been assigned to southern Dublin (some "A" areas are situated in [[County Wicklow]] and [[County Meath]] and others lie across the [[River Liffey|Liffey]] in northern [[Fingal]]). These are separate from the traditional postal districts but have been unified with them under the new [[Eircode]] system. [[Blackrock, Dublin|Blackrock]], for example, is in Dublin A94, whereas Dun Laoghaire is in the A96 area. Since Eircode was implemented, Southside postal addresses now take two general forms, depending on whether they lie within the traditional postal district area or not. This is an example of a postal address within the traditional Dublin postal districts:[[File:Dublin from the Wicklow Hills - geograph.org.uk - 74932.jpg|thumb|View of the southside, looking towards [[Howth Head|Howth]]]]
: The Shelbourne Hotel,
: 27 St. Stephen's Green, 
: Dublin 2,
: D02 K224.

And this is an example of a Southside postal address from outside the traditional postal districts:

: The Mellow Fig,
: 5A George's Avenue,
: Blackrock,
: County Dublin,
: A94 XK11.
