The Quality of Life Survey is a biennial survey of resident perceptions of well-being in New Zealand's larger urban areas.
The random survey of around 7000 respondents includes a sample of more than 500 Christchurch residents.
The survey is part of the wider Quality of Life Project, which is a partnership between New Zealand's largest councils, and includes Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Hutt, Porirua, Christchurch and Dunedin City Councils. The Greater Wellington region also participates.
The community outcomes monitoring programme reports on key indicators identified for each of Christchurch's Community Outcomes. This is a useful source of summary information across a broad range of aspects of community well-being.
