<p><strong>Urban rural 2023 update</strong></p>
<p>UR 2023 is the first major update of the geography since it was first created in 2018. The update is to ensure UR geographies are relevant and meet criteria before each five-yearly population and dwelling census. UR 2023 contains 13 new rural settlements and 7 new small urban areas. Updates were made to reflect real world change including new subdivisions and motorways, and to improve delineation of urban areas and rural settlements. The Wānaka urban area, whose population has grown to be more than 10,000 based on population estimates, has been reclassified to a medium urban area in the 2023 urban rural indicator.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In the 2023 classification there are:</p>
<ul>
<li>7 major urban areas </li>
<li>13 large urban areas </li>
<li>23 medium urban areas </li>
<li>152 small urban areas </li>
<li>402 rural settlements.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released urban rural (UR) boundaries as at 1 January 2023 as defined by Stats NZ. This version contains 745 UR areas, including 195 urban areas and 402 rural settlements.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Urban rural (UR) is an output geography that classifies New Zealand into areas that share common urban or rural characteristics and is used to disseminate a broad range of Stats NZ’s social, demographic and economic statistics.</p>
<p>The UR separately identifies urban areas, rural settlements, other rural areas, and water areas. Urban areas and rural settlements are form-based geographies delineated by the inspection of aerial imagery, local government land designations on district plan maps, address registers, property title data, and any other available information. However, because the underlying meshblock pattern is used to define the geographies, boundaries may not align exactly with local government land designations or what can be seen in aerial images. Other rural areas, and bodies of water represent areas not included within an urban area.</p>
<p>Urban areas are built from the statistical area 2 (SA2) geography, while rural and water areas are built from the statistical area 1 (SA1) geography.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Non-digitised</strong></p>
<p>The following 4 non-digitised UR areas have been aggregated from the 16 non-digitised meshblocks/SA2s.</p>
<p>6901; Oceanic outside region, 6902; Oceanic oil rigs, 6903; Islands outside region, 6904; Ross Dependency outside region.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UR numbering and naming</strong></p>
<p>Each urban area and rural settlement is a single geographic entity with a name and a numeric code.</p>
<p>Other rural areas, inland water areas, and inlets are defined by territorial authority; oceanic areas are defined by regional council; and each have a name and a numeric code.</p>
<p>Urban rural codes have four digits. North Island locations start with a 1, South Island codes start with a 2, oceanic codes start with a 6 and non-digitised codes start with 69.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Urban rural indicator (IUR)</strong></p>
<p>The accompanying urban rural indicator (IUR) classifies the urban, rural, and water areas by type. Urban areas are further classified by the size of their estimated resident population:</p>
<ul>
<li>major urban area – 100,000 or more residents, </li>
<li>large urban area – 30,000–99,999 residents, </li>
<li>medium urban area – 10,000–29,999 residents, </li>
<li>small urban area – 1,000–9,999 residents.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>This was based on 2018 Census data and 2021 population estimates. Their IUR status (urban area size/rural settlement) may change if the 2023 Census population count moves them up or down a category.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The indicators, by name, with their codes in brackets, are:</p>
<p>urban area – major urban (11), large urban (12), medium urban (13), small urban (14),</p>
<p>rural area – rural settlement (21), rural other (22),</p>
<p>water – inland water (31), inlet (32), oceanic (33).</p>
<p></p>
<p>The urban rural indicator complements the urban rural geography and is an attribute in this dataset. Further information on the urban rural indicator is available on the Stats NZ classification and coding tool <a href="http://aria-prod/cms-gwt-snz/#ClassificationSearch:q=urban%2520rural%2520indicator&facet.lifecycle=1&fl=name,abb&sort=relevance-&start=0&rows=20">ARIA</a>.</p>

<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 13 Sep 2021</strong><br />
<p>This dataset contains sex by ethnic group (grouped total responses), for the census usually resident population count, 2006, 2013, and 2018 Censuses for urban rural areas.</p>
<p>The dataset uses geographic boundaries as at 1 January 2018. For explanation of the urban rural classification see <a href="https://www.stats.govt.nz/methods/statistical-standard-for-geographic-areas-2018">Statistical standard for geographic areas 2018</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Definitions</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>census usually resident population count</strong> (CURP) of an area (subnational count) is a count of all people who usually live in that area and were present in New Zealand on census night. It excludes visitors from overseas, visitors from elsewhere in New Zealand, and residents temporarily overseas on census night. For example, a person who usually lives in Christchurch city and is visiting Wellington city on census night will be included in the census usually resident population count of Christchurch city. The CURP variable is rated as high quality.</p>
<p><strong>Ethnic group</strong> includes all people who stated each ethnic group, whether as their only ethnic group or as one of several ethnic groups. Where a person reported more than one ethnic group, they have been counted in each applicable group. The Ethnicity variable is rated as high quality.</p>
<p><strong>Quality</strong></p>
<p>For information on quality ratings by variable, please see <a href="https://www.stats.govt.nz/methods/data-quality-ratings-for-2018-census-variables">Data quality ratings for 2018 census variables</a>.</p>
<p>Due to changes in the 2018 Census methodology and lower than anticipated response rates, time series data should be interpreted with care.</p>
<p><strong>Confidentiality</strong></p>
<p>The 2018 Census confidentiality rules have been applied to 2006, 2013, and 2018 data. These rules protect the confidentiality of individuals, families, households, dwellings, and undertakings in 2018 Census data.</p>
<p>Counts are calculated using Fixed Random Rounding to base 3 (FRR3), and suppression of ‘sensitive’ counts less than six, where tables report multiple geographic variables and/or small populations. Individual figures may not always sum to stated totals.</p>
<p>For more information on the most recent 2018 Census confidentiality rules see <a href="https://www.stats.govt.nz/methods/applying-confidentiality-rules-to-2018-census-data-and-summary-of-changes-since-2013">Applying confidentiality rules to 2018 Census data and summary of changes since 2013</a></p>

<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 21 Sep 2020</strong><br />
<p>This dataset contains information on:</p>
<p>· Estimated resident population (ERP) at 30 June 1996, 2001, 2006, 2013, and 2018 for total population</p>
<p>· ERP at 30 June 2018 by ethnic groups (European or Other (including New Zealander), Māori, Pacific, Asian, and Middle Eastern/Latin American/African) – estimates and percentage</p>
<p>· Sex ratio – number of males per 100 females</p>
<p>· ERP at 30 June 2018 by broad age groups and median age</p>
<p>· Geographies available are regional council areas, territorial authority and Auckland local board areas, Statistical Area 2, and urban rural.</p>
<p>Note: The geography corresponds to 2020 boundaries</p>
<p>Note: -999 indicates data are not available.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>About the estimated resident population</strong></p>
<p>The estimated resident population at 30 June in the census year is based on the census usually resident population count, with updates for:</p>
<p>· net census undercount (as measured by a post-enumeration survey)</p>
<p>· residents temporarily overseas on census night</p>
<p>· births, deaths and net migration between census night and 30 June</p>
<p>· reconciliation with demographic estimates at the youngest ages.</p>
<p>The estimated resident population is not directly comparable with the census usually resident population count because of these adjustments.</p>
<p>For more detailed information about the methods used to calculate each base population, see <a href="http://datainfoplus.stats.govt.nz/Item/nz.govt.stats/1802e0b8-3673-4d51-890c-5f2bed81f0a3">DataInfo+ Demographic estimates</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Ethnic groups</strong></p>
<p>It is important to note that these ethnic groups are not mutually exclusive because people can and do identify with more than one ethnicity. People who identify with more than one ethnicity have been included in each ethnic group.</p>
<p>The 'Māori', 'Pacific', 'Asian' and 'Middle Eastern/Latin American/African' ethnic groups are defined in level 1 of the <a href="http://aria.stats.govt.nz/aria/#ClassificationView:uri=http://stats.govt.nz/cms/ClassificationVersion/CARS5481">Ethnicity New Zealand Standard Classification 2005</a>. The estimates for the 'European or Other (including New Zealander)' group include people who belong to the 'European' or 'Other ethnicity' groups defined in level 1 of the standard classification. If a person belongs to both the 'European' and 'Other ethnicity' groups they have only been counted once. Almost all people in the 'Other ethnicity' group belong to the 'New Zealander' sub-group.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Time series</strong></p>
<p>This time series is irregular. Because the 2011 Census was cancelled after the Canterbury earthquake on 22 February 2011, the gap between the 2006-base and 2013-base estimated resident population is seven years. The change in data between 2006 and 2013 may be greater than in the usual five-year gap between censuses. Be careful when comparing trends.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Rounding</strong></p>
<p>Individual figures may not sum to stated totals due to rounding.</p>

<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 06 Dec 2017</strong><br />
<p>The 2013 Census usually resident population count, household, and occupied dwellings (private and non-private) data has been rebased to the 2018 meshblock geography and is shown according to the new statistical geographies and urban rural classification developed as a result of the Statistical Standard for Geographic Areas 2018 (SSGA18) review. The data is experimental and is provided as a guide to understanding the impact of the new geographic boundaries on the previous census counts. </p>
<p>Note: This data has been randomly rounded to protect confidentiality. Individual figures may not add up to totals, and values for the same data may vary in different tables </p>
