Why am I seeing this?
This data is from the Census. The past two censuses had relatively low response rates, particularly for some areas of New Zealand and groups of people.
Where information was missing or unreadable, Stats NZ attempted to use data from a range of places such as previous censuses or administrative data that is collected by other government agencies. If that isn't available, Stats NZ use statistical models to predict what the missing data would have been. This is called imputation.
Subject matter
A dwelling is any building or structure - or its parts - that is used, or intended to be used, for human habitation. Private dwellings are homes of any type. There can be more than one dwelling within a building.
A room is considered to be a bedroom if it is furnished as a bedroom, even if it is not being used at the time of data collection.
Response rates and final data sources
For number of bedrooms, the response rate from 2023 Census forms was 91.1%. 6.6% of homes were sourced from the 2013 and 2018 Census. 0.4% of homes were sourced from admin data, while 1.8% were imputed. There was no information for the remaining 0.1%.
For dwelling type, the response rate from 2023 Census forms was 91.8%. 5.6% of dwellings were sourced from previous censuses. 0.5% were sourced from administrative data. The remaining 2.1% were imputed.
Definitions
Dwelling: A dwelling is any building or structure that is used, or intended to be used, for human habitation. There can be more than one dwelling within a building. For example, each apartment in an apartment building is a dwelling.
Household: either one person who usually resides alone, or two or more people who usually reside together and share facilities in a private dwelling. Included are people who were absent on census night but usually live in a particular dwelling and are members of that household, as long as they were reported as being absent on the dwelling form or the household set-up form.
Response 'stated': Members of the subject population (eg. people or dwelling) for which the data was obtained through a census form, administrative sources, or imputed.

From the dataset Census: Number of bedrooms, tenure of household, and private dwelling type for households in occupied private dwellings, (RC, TALB, SA2, Health), 2013, 2018, and 2023 Censuses, this data was extracted:
The New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings is the official count of how many people and dwellings there are in New Zealand. It provides a snapshot of our society at a point in time and helps to tell the story of its social and economic change. The 2023 Census, held on Tuesday 7 March, was the 35th New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings. The first official census was run in 1851, and since 1877 there has been a census every five years, with only four exceptions.
Purpose of collection
Census information is used by government agencies, local authorities, businesses, community organisations, and the public for developing and implementing new policies, research, planning, and decision-making. It helps us make decisions about how to best use public funding, especially in areas of health, education, housing, and transport.
The census is also the primary source of information used for deciding the number of general and Māori electorates, along with data from the corresponding Māori Electoral Option.
