- What is the census?
  The census is a nationwide survey that provides an official count of people and dwellings in Aotearoa New Zealand. It gives a snapshot of life, people, and communities every five years.
- What is new about the 2023 Census
  Many parts of the 2023 Census are the same as past censuses. But we have done some things in new ways. These were to make it easier to take part, and for us all to see ourselves in the data collected.
