Deaths data are based on deaths registered in New Zealand to people resident in New Zealand by date of death (not date of registration). Data from 1990 are subject to revision.
Limitations of the data
Data has been randomly rounded to three to protect confidentiality. Individual figures may not add up to totals, and values for the same data may vary in different tables.
