The census is the official count of how many people and dwellings we have in New Zealand.
Every five years Stats NZ runs the census, so the information is very important!

The next census day is on 6 March The census can be completed on or before 6th March 2018.

15. Moving the census online
census.govt.nz
We’ll send or deliver an access code to every household in New Zealand.
To get started, you will need the access code on your letter.
This code will be used by everyone in your household.
To get started, one person in every household will set up a household form, and list all the people who live, or are staying at that house.
Once you’ve done this, everyone in the house will be able to complete their own individual information, using a tablet, phone or desktop computer.
Everyone will be able to complete their own information securely, without other people in the household seeing each other’s responses.

16. What do the forms look like?
