Percentage changes
Percentage movements are, in a number of cases, calculated using data of greater precision than published. This could result in slight variations.
Rounding procedures
On occasion, figures are rounded to the nearest thousand or some other convenient unit. This may result in a total disagreeing slightly with the total of the individual items as shown in tables. Where figures are rounded the unit is in general expressed in words below the table headings, but where space does not allow this the unit may be shown as (000) for thousands, etc.
Changes of base
Where consecutive figures have been compiled on different bases and are not strictly comparable, a footnote is added indicating the nature of the difference.
Values
All values are shown in New Zealand currency, except where otherwise stated.
Source
All data is compiled by Statistics New Zealand, except where otherwise stated.
