The attached CSV is Household incomes, adjusted for inflation (household-income-real), from Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa; NZ in Numbers calculation, NZ in Numbers calculation. 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: Deflated by the all-groups CPI; housing costs for renters and mortgage holders rose differently from the CPI in some years, which is why the after-housing-costs measure is shown too. Survey estimates with sampling error.. Do not infer causation from changes during government terms.
