<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 19 Jan 2023</strong><br />
<p>The geographic areas file 2021 is a text file that classifies meshblocks into larger geographic areas, such as statistical area 2s, territorial authorities, and regional councils. You can use the areas file, also known as a concordance file, to see how the various geographic boundaries are related.</p>
<p>For each meshblock, there is a series of codes that link to any meshblock-defined geographic area. All areas are set as at 1 January of the specified year. Concordance files are available from different years, to enable data for the same area classification to be compared over time.</p>
<p>The areas file can be used in conjunction with the geographic boundary files available on Stats NZ's <a href="https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz/">Geographic Data Service</a>.</p>
<p>Geographic areas files for earlier years are also available on Stats NZ’s Geographic Data Service.</p>
<p>From 2020 onwards, names are provided with and without tohutō/macrons, as applicable. Where a descriptor column has a macron, the corresponding column name without a macron is suffixed with ‘ascii’.</p>

<p>This dataset is the definitive set of annually released regional council constituency boundaries for 2021 as defined by the regional councils and/or Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian). This version contains 64 categories. </p>
<p>Constituencies are established under the Local Electoral Act 2001 and result from the division of a region for electoral purposes. If a regional council decides to have a Māori constituency, the constituencies within the council are known as general constituencies and Māori constituencies. Constituencies are divisions of regional council areas. </p>
<p>Constituencies are defined at meshblock level, and do not coincide with the statistical area 1 (SA1) geography or the statistical area 2 (SA2) geography. They are created, based on population, to be the voting areas within councils. </p>

<p>The urban accessibility (UA) classification measures the degree of urban influence New Zealand’s urban areas have on surrounding rural areas. It classifies the geographic accessibility of rural statistical area 1s (SA1s) and small urban areas according to their proximity, or degree of remoteness, to larger urban areas. This classification provides increased understanding of the heterogeneity of rural areas and small urban areas and will allow more extensive analysis and reporting. Understanding the degree of urban accessibility or remoteness is important as it has a major influence on the employment sector, accessibility to services, and population composition and change.</p>
<p>The methodology uses drive time from an SA1 address weighted centroid to the outside boundary of the nearest major, large, and medium urban area (from Stats NZ urban rural (UR) classification) to classify rural SA1s and small urban areas to one of five categories of accessibility or remoteness. The Open Source Routing Machine service using the OpenStreetMap road network is used to calculate the drive times.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A concordance between SA1 and Urban Accessibility can be found on <a href="http://aria.stats.govt.nz/aria/">Aria</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Urban accessibility indicator is also available as an attribute on <a href="https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz/layer/105177-statistical-area-1-higher-geographies-2021-generalised/">Statistical Area 1 Higher Geographies 2021 (generalised)</a>.</p>
<p>Rural SA1s and small urban areas are classified to the following categories:</p>
<p>·High urban accessibility:<br>
0 to15 minutes from major urban areas</p>
<p>·Medium urban accessibility:<br>
15 to 25 minutes from major urban areas<br>
0 to 25 minutes from large urban areas<br>
0 to 15 minutes from medium urban areas</p>
<p>·Low urban accessibility:<br>
25 to 60 minutes from major or large urban areas<br>
15 to 60 minutes from medium urban areas</p>
<p>·Remote:<br>
60 to 120 minutes from major, large or medium urban areas</p>
<p>·Very remote:<br>
more than 120 minutes from major, large or medium urban areas</p>
<p></p>
<p>For more information refer to: <a href="https://www.stats.govt.nz/methods/urban-accessibility-methodology-and-classification">Urban accessibility - methodology and classification</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The full classification is shown below:</p>
<p>111 Major urban area</p>
<p>112 Large urban area</p>
<p>113 Medium urban area</p>
<p>221 High urban accessibility</p>
<p>222 Medium urban accessibility</p>
<p>223 Low urban accessibility</p>
<p>224 Remote</p>
<p>225 Very remote</p>
<p>331 Inland water</p>
<p>332 Inlet</p>
<p>333 Oceanic</p>
<p></p>
<p>Areas of 221 High urban accessibility and 222 Medium urban accessibility may be regarded as peri-urban in nature and combined with urban areas for analytical purposes.</p>

This version contains 21 local boards in the Auckland Council and 66 territorial authority boundaries for the rest New Zealand.</p>
<p>For statistical outputs that use territorial authorities to aggregate and report data Auckland Council is treated as a single geographic entity. This can hide meaningful patterns and trends for a significant portion of the population. A solution was to create a new classification of territorial authorities that includes the local boards for Auckland. The Auckland Council was established in 2010 under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Seven territorial authorities within the Auckland Region were abolished and replaced by the unitary authority Auckland Council. Local boards fall within the community board classification.</p>

<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 01 Dec 2020</strong><br />
<p>This dataset is derived from the definitive versions of local boards for Auckland and territorial authorities for the rest of New Zealand, as defined by the territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian), clipped to the coastline. </p>
<p>This clipped version has been created for map creation/cartographic purposes and so does not fully represent the official full extent boundaries. This version contains 21 local boards in the Auckland Council and 66 territorial authority boundaries for the rest New Zealand.</p>
<p>For statistical outputs that use territorial authorities to aggregate and report data Auckland Council is treated as a single geographic entity. This can hide meaningful patterns and trends for a significant portion of the population. A solution was to create a new classification of territorial authorities that includes the local boards for Auckland. The Auckland Council was established in 2010 under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Seven territorial authorities within the Auckland Region were abolished and replaced by the unitary authority Auckland Council. Local boards fall within the community board classification.</p>

<p>Constituencies are established under the Local Electoral Act 2001 and result from the division of a region for electoral purposes.If a regional council decides to have a Māori constituency, the constituencies within the council are known as general constituencies and Māori constituencies.Constituencies are divisions of regional council areas. They are defined at meshblock level, and do not coincide with the statistical area 1 (SA1) geography or the statistical area 2 (SA2) geography. They are created, based on population, to be the voting areas within councils. Constituencies are required to reflect communities of interest. Their boundaries, so far as is practicable, coincide with those of territorial authorities or wards.</p>

<p>This dataset is the definitive set of annually released meshblock boundaries for 2021 as defined by Stats NZ. This version contains 53,598 meshblocks.</p>
<p>Stats NZ maintains an annual meshblock geography for collecting and producing statistical data. This allows data to be compared over time. A meshblock is the smallest geographic unit for which statistical data is collected and processed by Stats NZ. A meshblock is defined by a geographic area, which can vary in size from part of a city block to a large area of rural land. Each meshblock borders on another to form a network covering all of New Zealand, including coasts and inlets and extending out to the 200-mile economic zone. Meshblocks are added together to build up larger geographic areas such as statistical area 1 (SA1), statistical area 2 (SA2), and urban rural. They are also used to define electoral districts, territorial authorities, and regional councils.</p>

<p>This dataset contains the true centroid point layer for the annually released statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries as at 1 January 2021. The "true" centroid is the centre of mass of that polygon, such that if some flat substance of uniform thickness and density were cut into the shape of that polygon, then that object would balance at the centroid. The centroid is a useful way of summarizing the location of a set of polygons as points, particularly when used for comparative analysis. Note that the centroid could potentially fall outside the SA2 polygon, depending on the shape of the polygon. The dataset contains the EASTING and NORTHING attributes of the centroid point in NZGD2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator (EPSG:2193) and LATITUDE and LONGITUDE of the centroid point in decimal degrees in WGS1984 (EPSG:4326) projection.</p>

<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 07 Dec 2020</strong><br />
<p>This dataset contains the true centroid point layer for the annually released statistical area 1 (SA1) boundaries as at 1 January 2021. The "true" centroid is the centre of mass of that polygon, such that if some flat substance of uniform thickness and density were cut into the shape of that polygon, then that object would balance at the centroid. The centroid is a useful way of summarizing the location of a set of polygons as points, particularly when used for comparative analysis. Note that the centroid could potentially fall outside the SA1 polygon, depending on the shape of the polygon.The dataset contains the EASTING and NORTHING attributes of the centroid point in NZGD2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator (EPSG:2193) and LATITUDE and LONGITUDE of the centroid point in decimal degrees in WGS1984 (EPSG:4326) projection.</p>

<p>This dataset contains the inside centroid point layer for the annually released statistical area 1 (SA1) boundaries as at 1 January 2021. The "inside" centroid is a point which always falls inside each SA1 polygon as this is often desirable. The placement of the point is typically in the widest part of the polygon. The algorithms used are proprietary to ESRI and are related to label placement. Note that the "inside" centroid is NOT always the same as the center of gravity ("true" centroid) of the polygon as in some situations the true centroid may fall outside the SA1 geometry. The dataset contains the EASTING and NORTHING attributes of the centroid point in NZGD2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator (EPSG:2193) and LATITUDE and LONGITUDE of the centroid point in decimal degrees in WGS1984 (EPSG:4326) projection.</p>
