Components of Change - Territorial Authority and Regional Council

Data for these component comparison maps are drawn from the ‘NTOM Demographic Accounting Model’, an electronic Resource originally created by Natalie Jackson and Shefali Pawar (NIDEA, University of Waikato) as part of the MSI-funded NTOM (Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi) project [29661-HASTR-MAU] (2012-2014). The Model is maintained by Natalie Jackson having been further supported under the Royal Society Marsden-funded Tai Timu Tangata. Taihoa e? project (2014-16) and the MBIE-funded CaDDANZ project (2015-21). Output from the model is available on request ([email protected]).

The maps provide a long-term overview of the main components (drivers) of population change across New Zealand's Territorial Authority Areas and Regional Council Areas. Where relevant, the data have been annualised.

Methodology

Data for the intercensal periods 1996-2001, 2001-2006, 2008-2013 and 2013-2018 were generated using the conventional three-step process described below.

Step 1: First we obtained, from Statistics New Zealand/InfoShare, births and deaths data (based on birth and death registrations) and subnational population estimates (ERP) for territorial authority and regional council areas, for the years ending June 1997-2018.

Step 2: From these data we calculated natural increase (births minus deaths) and net change (ERP at time t+5 minus ERP at time t).

Step 3: Natural Increase was then subtracted from net change, to generate a residual measure of total net migration.

The natural increase/decrease and net migration values were then annualised.
