<p><strong>2023 Functional Urban Area update</strong></p>
<p>For the 2023 FUA, there have been minor updates from the 2018 FUAs to align with changes to urban rural (UR) boundaries and statistical area 1 (SA1) composition. FUA 2023 is still based on the analysis of 2018 Census of Population and Dwellings commuting data. The Wanaka 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 UR and a medium regional centre in the FUA type.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
<p>This dataset is the definitive version of the Functional Urban Area boundaries as at 1 January 2023, as defined by Stats NZ.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The functional urban area (FUA) classification identifies small urban areas and rural areas that are integrated with major, large, and medium urban areas to create FUAs. In 2023, there are 53 FUAs,excluding ‘land area outside functional urban area’ (9001) and ‘water area outside functional urban area’ (9002). The FUA classificationuses the urban rural (UR) geography to demarcate urban areas, and statistical area 1 areas(SA1s) to demarcate surrounding hinterland (the commuting zone) within FUAs, and rural and water areas outside FUAs.</p>
<p></p>
<p>FUAs represent a populated urban core/s and its commuting zone. Workplace address and usual residence address data from the 2018 Census of Population and Dwellings were used to identify satellite urban areas (1,000–4,999 residents), rural settlements and other rural SA1s from which at least 40 percent of workers commuted to urban areas with more than 5,000 residents.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>FUA numbering and naming</strong></p>
<p>The FUA classification identifies FUAs by the name of the most highly populated urban area it contains, for example, the Christchurch FUA includes the Christchurch urban core and Rangiora, Kaiapoi, and Rolleston secondary urban cores. There is one exception to the naming rule. The Paraparaumu-Waikanae-Paekakariki conurbation and surrounding hinterland is named Kapiti Coast.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The FUA classification has a two-level hierarchical structure, joined together to create each FUA code. Level 1 is classified by FUA type (TFUA) a one-digit code and level 2, which has three-digit codes numbered approximately north to south. Some examples are: 1001 Auckland, 2001 Whangārei, 3001 Cambridge, and 4001 Kaitāia.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>FUA type (TFUA)</strong></p>
<p>FUAs are further categorised by population size. The urban core’s population rather than the entire FUA’s population is used to maintain consistency between the descriptions of UR urban area and FUA type. The categories are, by code:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1 Metropolitan area – more than 100,000 residents living in the urban core,</p>
<p>2 Large regional centre – urban core population 30,000–99,999,</p>
<p>3 Medium regional centre – urban core population 10,000–29,999,</p>
<p>4 Small regional centre – urban core population 5,000–9,999, and,</p>
<p>9 Area outside functional urban area.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Greymouth urban area population is less than 10,000 but is classified as a medium regional centre, consistent with its treatment as a medium urban area in the UA classification.</p>
<p></p>
<p>To differentiate from the UR classification, when referring to FUAs by name, their FUA type should also be mentioned, for example, Christchurch metropolitan area, Whangarei regional centre.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>FUA indicator (IFUA)</strong></p>
<p>The IFUA classifies UR2023 urban areas and rural SA1s according to their character within their FUA. The indicators, with their codes in brackets, are:</p>
<p>• urban area within functional urban area – urban core (101), secondary urban core (102), satellite urban area (103),</p>
<p>• rural area within functional urban area – hinterland (201),</p>
<p>• area outside functional urban area – land area outside functional urban area (901), water area outside functional urban area (902).</p>
<p></p>

<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 27 Sep 2020</strong><br />
<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.<br>
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>A concordance between SA1 and Urban Accessibility can be found on <a href="http://aria.stats.govt.nz/aria/#ConcordanceView:uri=http://stats.govt.nz/cms/ConcordanceVersion/Ts22J1IdBXTAvYFE">Aria</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>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>The full classification is shown below:<br>
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>Note: 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>
