Local Housing Statistics

This page provides indicators of housing need, rental affordability, and home ownership affordability in each of New Zealand’s 67 territorial authorities.

You can see a detailed breakdown of these statistics over time and see how each territorial authority compares to the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand.

This dashboard is refreshed monthly with the latest statistics available.

Data issue

MBIE is rebuilding its rental bond data outputs following issues that arose during migration to the new tenancy management system. Together with Stats NZ, we're supporting this work. While we have no reason to suspect any quality issues with the weekly rent data provided, we have not received the level of information we would typically require to have full confidence in it.
