Stats NZ releases the first instalment of population projections for statistical area 2 (“SA2”) and statistical area 3 (“SA3”) districts based on the 2023 census, extending through 2053. The release includes projections for the Stratford, Waitomo, Rangitikei, Tararua, Waitaki, Taupō, and Rotorua districts. Data are available by five‑year age group and sex and can be accessed and downloaded via the Aotearoa Data Explorer. The projections replace the earlier 2018‑base “SA2” projections, which will remain available until all 2023‑based estimates are published. Additional territorial authority areas will be added during 2026, and the second instalment is scheduled for 24 February 2026.
