How to read this
The figures describe places, not the people who live in them, and they are counts of records, not rates: we do not hold population figures for New Zealand here. We say "higher" or "lower", never "good" or "bad", and where something is missing we say so instead of filling the gap.
- Charities are placed at the centre of their postcode (some by town name where no postcode is given).
- Charity income is not held here, so charities are ranked by board size.
- Councils are matched by the nearest council centre; electorates and local boards are not matched to a postcode.
