This is a list of statistical areas in New Zealand, as defined by Statistics New Zealand in the statistical area 2 (SA2) and statistical area 3 (SA3) boundaries set out in the Statistical standard for geographic areas 2023.
All SA2 areas are listed here, in non-italics. These are areas of land, such as a high-density urban area, farmland area, wilderness are or water area, with a community that interacts socially and economically. An SA2 area usually has a shared road network, shared community facilities, shared historical or social links and socio-economic similarities. In cities, SA2 areas are usually suburbs or part-suburbs with 2,000 to 4,000 residents. In rural districts, many SA2 areas have populations of fewer than 1,000 residents.
Some SA3 areas are also listed here in italics. These are groups of SA2 areas that form a large suburb, town, rural community or group of settlements. Some SA3 areas have a population of 5,000 to 10,000 people.
