Ratoath (Irish: Ráth Tó) is a vibrant commuter town, centred on the point where the R125 and R155 regional roads meet. In the 2006 census, it was 7,249, and by 2011 the population reached 9,043. The Broad Meadow River (Irish: An Gabhair) flows through the town.

Most of Ratoath's adult population commutes to Dublin to work. More than three quarters of the population traveled to work by car. In 2011 10.9% of the workforce was unemployed compared to the national average of 19%. This may be due to the small percentage of the Ratoath workers employed in the construction sector, with Ratoath having more people than average from higher socio-economic classes. Just outside the town is Fairyhouse racecourse, where the Irish Grand National is held.
