The attached CSV is Household incomes in New Zealand (household-income), from Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa, Household income and housing-cost statistics. Describe how each measure has changed, naming its unit and period. Treat changes in basis and missing periods as breaks. Distinguish observation from explanation. Limitations: Survey estimates with sampling error (published with each value); small year-to-year changes may not be significant. The median is the better guide to a typical household; the mean is pulled up by high incomes. Dollars are not adjusted for inflation; compare with CPI or use the inflation-adjusted view. After-housing-costs income shows what is left after rent or mortgage, rates and insurance.. Do not infer causation from changes during government terms.
