There is a New Zealand Census coming up on Tuesday 6 March 2018. As at that day, there will be a data ‘snapshot’ of all people and dwellings in the country. It’s like Researcher Christmas!
If you’re planning to use 2018 census data in your research, you might like to attend a presentation and workshop next week run by Statistics New Zealand. They’ll talk about timelines for data release, and answer your questions. Details below.
