Heatmaps of housing outcomes
A high-level overview of the housing situation in a place that can be used as a starting point for identifying issues and opportunities that need further exploration.
These maps show how places across New Zealand are performing relative to specific benchmarks and to one another. These maps are used as a starting point for further analysis – used alone, they can’t help to make decisions about what needs to be done, where and how. Taking a place-based approach means using these insights alongside other context, knowledge and relationships.
The heatmaps compare places based on these measures:
- Severe housing deprivation
- Rental stress
- Home ownership affordability.
-
Rate of severe housing deprivation per 10,000 people
A map and data illustrating the proportion of people experiencing severe housing deprivation by territorial authority.
-
Percentage of the median household income required to afford a median market rent
A map and data illustrating what proportion of the median household income would need to be spent in different territorial authorities to afford a median-priced rental.
-
Number of years of savings on the median household income to purchase a median-priced house
A map and data illustrating how many times the annual median household income a median priced house would cost in different territorial authorities.
