Market Report
The number of dwellings across the country increased at a significantly faster rate than population growth over the five years to 2023, according to the latest Census data released by Statistics New Zealand.
Between the 2018 Census and the 2023 Census, NZ's usual resident population increased 294,168, or 6.3%, to 4,993,923 from 4,699,755.
Over the same period the number of dwellings increased 170,061, or 9%, to 2,056,578 from 1,886,517.
The growth in dwellings compared to population growth was particularly strong in Auckland and Marlborough.
There were only three regions where dwelling growth failed to keep pace with population growth - Bay of Plenty, Gisborne and Taranaki. But there were another three where the pace of dwelling growth only just managed to keep pace with population growth - Waikato, Manawatu-Whanganui and the West Coast.
Altogether NZ's population increased by 294,168 between the two censuses, while the number of dwellings increased by 170,061.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
