Statistical Standard for Geographic Areas (SSGA) review - Urban/rural geography characteristics
We would like your feedback on our proposed characteristics for a new urban/rural geography.
The new geography will replace the existing urban areas classification, and the urban/rural profile experimental series. With your feedback, we hope to enable you to more effectively use Statistics NZ data and analyse your own data.
This consultation is part of our review of the Statistical Standard for Geographic Areas.
