About the 2023 Census tally
The 2023 Census tally is the count of Individual Forms received by Stats NZ in the 2023 Census.
We publish the 2023 Census tally at 9.00am each day on the homepage of the census website. This is the count of Individual Forms received by Stats NZ in the 2023 Census.
The 2023 Census tally (Individual Form returned) figure is raw data and in no way an official figure. The 2023 Census tally includes duplicates, overseas visitor returns, and should not be used to make any decisions.
We cannot provide a ‘response rate’ as such. The response rate will be confirmed by the 2023 Post-enumeration survey, which happens after the census. We will know what the response rate for the 2023 Census was in 2024.
