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.
Things to be aware of
There have been changes to the questionnaire design since the 2018 Census:
In 2018, the individual home ownership question had ’neither of these’ as a response option. In 2023, the same option has been changed to ‘neither of these, eg renting’.
Users should note the following:
- There are minor inconsistencies in the individual home ownership data when compared with tenure of household and private dwelling in a registered retirement village data which may be a result of respondent error or misinterpretation.
- Being a trustee of a family trust counts as holding the dwelling in a family trust. However, if a person is a beneficiary only and not a trustee, that does not count as holding the dwelling in a family trust.
Ethnicity is a multiple-response variable, therefore the number of total responses will be greater than the number of respondents (e.g. a person who identifies as Samoan and Chinese would be counted once in each category).
A person may vary their reporting of their ethnicity, including the number of ethnicities they identify with, according to the context in which they are asked. This is a consideration when comparing the census results with other sources.
This variable provides information on home ownership at the individual level i.e. whether individual people own their home or not. This is different to tenure of household which provides information on whether one or more household members own their home or not.
As this data relates to all people aged 15 years and over who were living in New Zealand, it includes those living in private dwellings (for example houses, units, apartments) and those living in non-private dwellings (for example student hostels, boarding houses, residential care for older people). It also includes teenagers and young people who live with their parents and do not (themselves) own their home.
Ethnicity is the ethnic group or groups a person identifies with or has a sense of belonging to. It is a measure of cultural affiliation (in contrast to race, ancestry, nationality, or citizenship). This demographic attribute is self-perceived, and a person can belong to more than one ethnic group.

From the dataset Census: Individual home ownership, ethnicity (grouped total responses level 1), age (5-year groups), and gender for the census usually resident population aged 15 years and over, 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.
