Mapping Trends in the Auckland Region

Mapping Trends in the Auckland Region, is a new web-based report by
Statistics New Zealand, which focuses on geographical patterns in Auckland
and how they are changing. The results are presented mainly through
downloadable coloured maps that allow users to compare area trends over
time. Topics include population density, ethnicity, education, and
commuting.

The report uses information from the 2006 Census of Population and
Dwellings, and population projections to look at social, demographic, and
economic trends affecting people in the Auckland region.

The report is a "one-stop shop" for new and existing information about
Auckland.

The new information is around projected labour force patterns to 2031,
along with ethnicity information over time, which paints a clear picture of
Auckland's diversity.

The report is significant in that it provides a wide general audience with
an accessible tool to easily engage with the vast range of information
about New Zealand’s largest population. The data is presented in a visual
manner and is supported by commentary.

The report will be released at 10.45am on 22 June 2009 and will be
available shortly after 11am on www.stats.govt.nz.
