The 2023 New Zealand census, which took place on 7 March 2023,[1] was the thirty-fifth national census in New Zealand. It implemented measures that aimed to increase the Census' effectiveness in response to the issues faced with the 2018 census, including supporting Māori to complete the census.[2][3] It also included new questions on topics such as gender, sexual identity, and disabilities/health conditions.[4] The first Census data was published on 29 May 2024, in a range of data products and services.
