From: Buddhika Daluwatte

Dear Statistics New Zealand,

I am a student at NMIT, and I am doing my research on intergenerational inequality in the housing market and how it affects future housing prices in New Zealand. So I need the Household Expenditure (1966-1981), Household disposable median annual income (2019-2023 and 1966-1981), Home Ownership (1966-1981), and the ratio between household income to housing market price (1966-1981). I hope you honor my request

Regards,

Buddhika Daluwatte

Any statistical information that Statistics NZ holds is publicly available in their database via their website. You shouldn't be asking for that information in an OIA request.
