New Zealand index of socioeconomic deprivation: 2023 Census provides 18 new Aotearoa Data Explorer tables on the 2023 New Zealand index of socioeconomic deprivation (NZDep2023).
NZDep2023 is a small area measure of socioeconomic deprivation. It is created by the University of Otago from census variables across eight dimensions:
- communication
- income
- employment
- qualifications
- home ownership
- support
- living space
- dwelling condition.
A socioeconomic deprivation decile is calculated for each statistical area 1 (SA1), not for individuals or households. The higher the deprivation decile, the more socioeconomically deprived the area.
This data combines the NZDep2023 values for a range of geographic areas with various concepts, such as ethnic group, home ownership, occupation, and dwelling dampness, to provide insights into the people and households within each area.
Socioeconomic Deprivation Indexes: NZDep and NZiDep, Department of Public Health has more information about the New Zealand index of socioeconomic deprivation, including how it is calculated.
