Subject: Official Information request - 2023 Meshblock Populations

 

Dear Statistics New Zealand,

 

Please could you provide usually resident population counts by 2023
Meshblock boundary as of the March 2023 Census. In previous census outputs
this information has been publicly released without small cell suppression
or random rounding to base three (which tends to upwardly bias population
estimates).

 

If this information will be released as part of the standard census data
publication please feel free to ignore this request.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Dr Adam Ward
