2023 Census data will be coming soon. Stats NZ will release an initial look at census data at the end of May 2024, with much more data and insights to follow between October 2024 and August 2025.
In the months since the census collection, Stats NZ has been processing census responses to create a final census data set. That work includes things like:
The initial data release in May will include the census usually resident population (the count of all people who usually live in New Zealand and were present on census night), the count of dwellings (the places where people live or stay) and data on Māori descent. This is just the first release – with date releases and insights from that data also to come from October 2024.
