The Distribution of Socioeconomic Deprivation Within the Māori and European Populations in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1991, 2001, and 2023
This study aimed to determine the distribution of socioeconomic deprivation within the Māori and European populations in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1991, 2001, and 2023. NZDep is an index of relative socioeconomic deprivation for small areas based on data from the Census of Population and Dwellings. A socioeconomic deprivation score from 1 (least socioeconomically deprived 10% of small areas) to 10 (most socioeconomically deprived 10%) was assigned …
Towards dwelling energy certification for New Zealand
With the impact of climate change, the use of both energy and resources that lock in future energy use is receiving heightened attention. New Zealand has lagged behind many similar countries in not requiring an explicit energy certification for dwellings. This paper reviews the form of energy certification used by similar countries and discusses the potential impact of applying the various forms to New Zealand dwellings. Specifically, it compares…

Tackling cold housing and fuel poverty in New Zealand
More effective home heating reduces school absences for children with asthma
BACKGROUND: New Zealand homes are underheated by international standards, with average indoor temperatures below the WHO recommended minimum of 18 degrees C. Research has highlighted the connection between low indoor temperatures and adverse health outcomes, including social functioning and psychological well-being. Both health effects and social effects can impact on school absence rates. The aim of this study was to determine whether more effec…
Retrofitting houses with insulation
BACKGROUND: Housing is an important environmental influence on population health, and there is growing evidence of health effects from indoor environment characteristics such as low indoor temperatures. However, there is relatively little research, and thus little firm guidance, on the cost-effectiveness of public policies to retrospectively improve the standards of houses. The purpose of this study was to value the health, energy and environment…
Effect of insulating existing houses on health inequality
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether insulating existing houses increases indoor temperatures and improves occupants' health and wellbeing. DESIGN: Community based, cluster, single blinded randomised study. SETTING: Seven low income communities in New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS: 1350 households containing 4407 participants. INTERVENTION: Installation of a standard retrofit insulation package. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Indoor temperature and relative humidity,…
