Housing Data Insights
Murihiku Southland remains one of New Zealand’s most affordable places to live, home to 2.0% of the population and 2.3% of the country’s housing stock. But affordability is under growing pressure, as house prices and rents continue to rise faster than household incomes.
This dashboard brings together key housing data to help build a clear picture of housing conditions across Murihiku Southland. Explore trends in affordability, rental pressures, housing supply, building activity, social housing demand, population characteristics and dwelling quality to understand where housing-related challenges may be emerging.
Neighbourhood Insights uses 2023 Census data to provide a closer look at local communities across Murihiku Southland. Explore indicators such as affordability, crowding, deprivation, dwelling quality, underutilised housing and social housing demand alongside population characteristics, to identify neighbourhoods where housing pressures may be affecting wellbeing and where additional support, investment or investigation may be needed.
The dashboard is organised around four key themes: Overview, Housing, Building Activity and Neighbourhood Insights. Together, these themes provide a comprehensive view of housing conditions across Murihiku Southland. For more information on data sources, definitions and methodology, see the Guide in the top right-hand corner of the dashboard, the Technical Glossary, and links to related dashboards.

It brings together a range of social sector and economic data from Government agencies which users can drill down to a local level and even by age and ethnicity. For Housing, data is provided on Households, Public, Rented, Owned, Emergency and Transitional Housing.
