Table Builder business demography tables

Business demographic statistics give an annual snapshot (as at February) of the structure and characteristics of New Zealand businesses. The tables below are based on the business demography statistics released in October 2012. This series is based on the Statistics New Zealand Longitudinal Business Frame (LBF).

Business demography statistics are limited to economically significant individual, private-sector and public-sector enterprises that are engaged in the production of goods and services in New Zealand. These enterprises are maintained on the Statistics NZ Business Frame, which generally includes all employing units and those enterprises with GST turnover greater than $30,000 per year.

These business demography statistics are published using the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification 2006 (ANZSIC06). The ANZSIC06 series has been back-cast to 2000.

The business size (employment measure) used in these tables is the employee count (EC). The EC data has been sourced from the Linked Employer-Employee Database.

The following Table Builder tables are for the years 2000 to 2012. Area boundaries use the 2011 boundary pattern.

Please note the Business Demography Statistics: Data quality (including data limitations) should be viewed in conjunction with these tables.
