Definitions
Deaths: deaths registered in New Zealand by date of registration.
Changes to data collection/processing
New Zealand area data is not rebased when boundary changes occur. Data before 2006 is based on boundaries for the year of registration. Data for 2006-2010 is on 2006 boundaries, 2011-12 on 2011 boundaries. From 2013, data is based on 2013 boundaries.
Figures for the Auckland Council for March, June, and September 2011 year are estimated using a combination of 2006 and 2011 boundaries. Deaths data from 1991 onwards are based on deaths registered in New Zealand of New Zealand residents by date of registration.
