Updated regional data from the New Zealand Health Survey has been released, which provides information on the health and wellbeing of adults and children across New Zealand.

Regional Data Release: New Zealand Health Survey

The data presents key health indicators using a three‑year rolling average, which improves reliability for regional and local‑level analysis. Results are available for a range of geographic areas, including health regions, district health boards, regional councils, iwi Māori partnership boards, and rural–urban classifications. Within each area, data can be explored by age, gender, ethnic group, disability status, and neighbourhood deprivation.

To support correct use of the data, a new short video is included with this release. The video explains how to find and interpret the results. You can watch the video on the data release webpage.

The regional data is intended to support planning, monitoring, and analysis, and should be interpreted alongside the guidance provided on the webpage.
