Active NZ 

Active NZ is a nationwide survey that shows how New Zealanders aged 5 and over are getting active – and how that’s changing. There are 2 key ways to explore the Active NZ data that may be valuable for regional organisations involved in, or interested in, the delivery of play, active recreation, and sport: 

  1. Regional tables: here you find the Active NZ data tables for each Regional Sports Trust region within New Zealand. These tables include  Active NZ data specific to each region.

  2. If you are looking to develop programmes for a specific demographic group such as girls and young women, the Active NZ annual data tables are a valuable resource. These tables provide detailed  insights into:

      • the types of sports and activities they participate in
      • how their participation compares to other demographic groups
      • common barriers to participation
      • where they are most active.

You can also compare data from your region with other regions across New Zealand.

Insights tool

The Insights tool maps data from various sources to small sub-areas throughout New Zealand based on the demographic make-up of that area. You can see demographics, activity behaviours and trends, health trends and school data relating to region or subregion. Data can be viewed by city/district, regional sports trust and local board (Auckland only) filters.
