International migration: June 2019 – migration by New Zealand area of residence – CSV

Description of Use arrivals and departures (net international movement) for migrant intentions by NZ region 1. to be correlated with population and other statistics to determine an estimate of migrant demographics within regional communities.

Data Set

International travel and migration: September 2017

Description of Use this is the only dataset providing visitor/migrant intentions regarding NZ regional destination, therefore providing the data anchor for cultural diversity and numbers "you are not alone" (if able to harvest data from the last decade or longer) for the nation-of-origin of our new residents datasets (this particular data is tragically "temporarily unavailable" from NZ Stats!). 1. assume proportion of new migrants, are relatives of already resident NZers, therefore 2. use this data, alongside 50 years of immigrant nationality information, and regional population growth, as well as census information, to help refine an estimate of each region's ethnic/nation-of-origin, as the "reassurance" factor that the new resident is amongst friends

Data Set

Crosstab of granted New Zealand Citizenship

Description of Use Aggregate number of granted New Zealand Citizenships segmented by country of birth. 1. unpack the cross-tab for use by country totals irrespective of year 2. apply the country of birth data accross the regions by statistical algorithm based on: a) regional/district council estimates of cultural diversity b) surname analysis from the electoral roll (perhaps - needs to be applied for on scientific or health grounds, and paid $497.80) c) arrival-card destinations asserted by migrants/visa from customs declarations and NZ Stats migration data (aggregated from Worksheet 7 (when available) of the international-travel-and-migration-sep17-tables.xlsx and https://www.stats.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/International-travel-and-migration/International-travel-and-migration-September-2017/itm-sep17-csvs.zip
