Information for the ward based on Statistics New Zealand census and population data.
Population statistics - user guide(external link) provides an overview of the different population statistics produced by Statistics New Zealand(external link). The 2023 deprivation index(external link) was developed by researchers at the University of Otago and combines nine variables from the 2023 census, which reflect dimensions of socio-economic deprivation. NZDep2023 provides a deprivation score for each meshblock in New Zealand – a meshblock is generally the size of a street block in urban areas, containing approximately 30 to 60 dwellings. Deprivation scores apply to areas rather than individual people. A person is regarded as disabled if they have 'a lot of difficulty' or 'cannot do at all' one or more of the six activities in the activity limitations questions. These six questions are the Washington Group Short Set of questions on disability and are referred to as activity limitations in the 2023 census. The questions relate to difficulty seeing, hearing, walking or climbing steps, remembering or concentrating, washing all over or dressing, and communicating.

The 2025 profiles are compiled by the Community Support and Partnerships Unit. They are a record of the community at the point in time they were compiled – April 2025 – so some information may now be outdated.
Profiles include core demographics, community infrastructure and community resilience.
