Introduction
The Social Report provides a comprehensive picture of how New
Zealand is doing on a range of important social indicators. The
regional indicators report is published in conjunction with the social
report, and uses similar data at a regional and local level to show how
outcomes vary across the country. It is intended to support regional
and local councils with decision making.
Indicator data is provided for the 10 social report domains: Health,
Knowledge and Skills, Paid Work, Economic Standard of Living, Civil and
Political Rights, Cultural Identity, Physical Environment, Leisure and
Recreation, Safety and Social Connectedness. The regional indicators
website monitors outcomes across 22 core indicators at a regional
council level and 21 core indicators at a territorial authority (TA)
level.
We have updated a majority of the regional indicators presented in
this report (13 out of 22). At the territorial authority level, where
the census provides data for many of the indicators, 11 out of 21
indicators have been updated. A range of descriptive information has
also been updated.
Information is not always available for every region or territorial
authority. In some instances regions are combined, for example
Tasman/Nelson/Marlborough. Data sources and indicators can vary between
the main social report, regional data and territorial authority data,
reflecting data availability.
For further information on data sources, and changes in the data
from 2008, see the technical details.
Note that, because of data limitations, the information provides a
partial picture of regional and local performance and may not
necessarily reflect the total wellbeing across an area.
