Dear *OIA,

Thank you for the information.
It's a good start.
My request is a correspondence table for *all* the Market Rent suburbs in NZ, not just Mt Eden.
(I used Mt Eden one example for clarifying the CSV specification).
Can you please send the remaining data through?

Thanks for your attention.

Dear *OIA,

There we go!
Cheers.

By the way, this file would be great to add to either the page https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/rent-bond-an... or the page https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/about-tenanc... for all the data nerds out there.

Dear *OIA,

I discovered something odd in the table you sent.
There are more (unique) rental areas than (unique) SA2s ---2,602 vs 2,144 to be precise--- which means that the rental areas are defined in terms of meshblocks rather than (the more coarse) SA2s.
Is this correct, and if so, how are you aggregating the rental bond data to rental areas in the Market Rent Calculator, considering that the rental bond data is given at the SA2 level?

Thanks for your attention.
