Due to the large number of name and boundary changes in 2023, this template has been superseded by ((NZ population data 2023 SA2)). This template has been retained with 2022 data for backwards compatibility with existing articles while the transition to the new template is made.
This template is to supply uniform, up-to-date population data to New Zealand articles. It facilitates a mass update of all the population numbers in articles.
This template uses the Statistical Standard for Geographic Areas 2018 (SSGA18).
It includes SA2 areas. Larger area units are included in ((NZ population data 2018)).
((NZ population data 2018 SA2|Example city|y|y|y))
The template has seven parameters:
Leaving a show parameter empty results in that value being hidden.
The template data uses formatted text numbers, with the comma thousands separator, which is suitable for the majority of uses. For the numerical value, for example to use in ((Infobox Settlement)), use the formula: ((formatnum:((NZ population data 2018| ##Example city## |y))|R))
The data on this template can be updated up to once per year. Statistics New Zealand releases the subnational population estimates around 20 October (see Stats NZ's release calendar for exact date).
