Report analyses the impact recent census 2018 data releases have on our estimates of the size of Auckland’s intermediate housing market. Our report should be read in conjunction with the “Intermediate housing market and housing affordability trends in Auckland” report prepared for Auckland Council in 2019. The report provides commentary on:

• Recent statistics releases including usually resident household counts and rates of owner occupation outcomes from the 2018 census;
• Implications of these trends on the estimated size of the intermediate housing market in Auckland in 2018;
• Implications of the census outcomes on the estimated household growth rates by local board and tenure between 2018 and 2028.
