List of statistical areas in New Zealand explained
This is a list of statistical areas in New Zealand, as defined by Statistics New Zealand in the statistical area 2 (SA2) and statistical area 3 (SA3) boundaries set out in the Statistical standard for geographic areas 2023.
All SA2 areas are listed here, in non-italics. These are areas of land, such as a high-density urban area, farmland area, wilderness are or water area, with a community that interacts socially and economically. An SA2 area usually has a shared road network, shared community facilities, shared historical or social links and socio-economic similarities.[1] [2] In cities, SA2 areas are usually suburbs or part-suburbs with 2,000 to 4,000 residents. In rural districts, many SA2 areas have populations of fewer than 1,000 residents.[3]
Some SA3 areas are also listed here in italics. These are groups of SA2 areas that form a large suburb, town, rural community or group of settlements. Some SA3 areas have a population of 5,000 to 10,000 people.
