This dataset is the definitive version of statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries concorded to higher geographies for 2022 as defined by Stats NZ.This version contains 2,260 SA2s. This statistical area 2 higher geographies file is a correspondence, or concordance, which relates SA2s to larger geographic areas or 'higher geographies'. The higher geographies contained in this concordance are: territorial authority (TA) and regional council (REGC). Statistical area 2 (SA2) is anoutput geography that provides higher aggregations of population data than can be provided at the statistical area 1 (SA1) level. The SA2 geography aims to reflect communities that interact together socially and economically. In populated areas, SA2s generally contain similar sized populations.This generalised version has been simplified for rapid drawing and is designed for thematic or web mapping purposes.For further information on individual higher geographies, refer to each geography's metadata.Names are provided with and without tohutō/macrons. The column name for those without macrons is suffixed ‘ascii’.Digital boundary data became freely available on 1 July 2007.
This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released statistical area 2 boundaries as at 1 January 2022 as defined by Stats NZ. This version contains 2,260 statistical area 2 areas.

The digital meshblock boundaries are stored and maintained by Stats NZ. Non-alignment of meshblock and cadastral boundaries are one of a number of reasons for meshblock boundary adjustments. Other reasons include requests from local authorities, Local Government Commission, Electoral Representation Commission and to make census enumeration processes easier. From the generalised meshblock pattern, higher geographies are dissolved using the dissolve tool in the Arc GIS suite to create multiple output datasets.
