Subject matter

‘Household composition’ classifies households according to the relationships between usually resident people. A household is either one person who usually resides alone, or two or more people who usually reside together and share facilities in a home. 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 rates and final data sources

For household composition, 92.3% of household information was derived from census forms. 3.1% of households were enumerated from admin data, while 1.2% were a mix of both census and admin sources. 3.5% of households had no information. For number of bedrooms, 91.1% of the information was derived from census forms. 6.6% of homes were from previous censuses, while 2.3% were from admin and imputation.

About this dataset

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.
