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
ACCESS TO TELECOMMUNICATIONS
This data provides information on access to telecommunication systems at the household level. It does not show whether a particular household member has access to those amenities. In some cases, not every member of a household has equal access to particular telecommunication systems, such as a cellphone or the Internet. The device(s) and connection(s) must be in working order.
TENURE OF HOUSEHOLD
Tenure of household indicates whether a household rents, owns, or holds their home in a family trust, and whether payment is made by the household for the right to reside there.
This variable does not refer to the tenure of the land. A home held in a family trust is owned by the family trust, so the household does not directly own it.
This variable applies to all households in occupied private dwellings.
Home ownership figures given in census publications are often presented as the percentage of households who owned their home or held it in a family trust. Combining these categories provides a summary indication of total households in these situations (which are similar and distinct from not owning) and the overall trend for home ownership.
This is different from individual tenure, which provides information on whether one specific person owns their home or not.
Response rates and final data sources
For access to telecommunications, the response rate from 2023 Census forms was 91.6%. There was no information for 8.4% of households. No alternative data source or imputation was used to replace missing responses.
For tenure of household, the response rate from 2023 Census forms was 90.5%. 3.6% of households were sourced from the 2013 Census. 2.7% were sourced from administrative data. 2.7% were imputed. 0.4% were derived via deterministic derivation. There was no information for less than 0.1% of households.
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.
Data calculation/treatment

Census: Access to telecommunication systems, total household income, and tenure of household for households in occupied private dwellings, (RC, TALB, SA2, Health), 2013, 2018, and 2023 Censuses
From the dataset Census: Access to telecommunication systems, total household income, and tenure of household 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.
