New Zealand index of socioeconomic deprivation: 2023 Census – 12 March 2025 – New Zealand index of socioeconomic deprivation: 2023 Census provides 18 new Aotearoa Data Explorer tables on the 2023 New Zealand index of socioeconomic deprivation (NZDep2023).
NZDep2023 is a small area measure of socioeconomic deprivation. It is created by the University of Otago from census variables across eight dimensions:
- communication
- income
- employment
- qualifications
- home ownership
- support
- living space
- dwelling condition.
A socioeconomic deprivation decile is calculated for each statistical area 1 (SA1), not for individuals or households. The higher the deprivation decile, the more socioeconomically deprived the area.
