Research and Policy
Review of Housing Statistics Report 2009
Statistics NZ has undertaken a review of New Zealand’s housing statistics and produced the Review of Housing Statistics Report 2009. The purpose of the review was to identify the enduring research and policy needs relating to housing statistics and ascertain the extent to which housing statistics are adequate for current and prospective information needs. The report then recommends actions required to address any significant shortcomings or gaps that the Official Statistics System needs to address in the field of housing, providing a framework for the development of housing statistics over the next 5—10 years.
This report concludes the review of housing statistics. Statistics NZ will now establish a joint agency approach to priorities and an implementation plan for the recommendations.
