It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.      Active transport modes, such as biking, walking and jogging, may also be influenced by the weather conditions on Census day.

It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.

It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.

It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.

It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.

It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.

It does not take into account secondary modes of transport.   • It does not include people who did not go to work on census day. • Some people did not respond to the question, or did not provide the type of information asked for; they were coded as ‘Not elsewhere classified’ (3.7% in 2013) and excluded from the analysis.    Statistics New Zealand have rated the quality of this variable as ‘high’ and ‘fit for use’, with minor data quality issues only.    In terms of time trends, Statistics New Zealand have noted that the 2013 data is fully comparable with the 2006 census data, and highly comparable with the 2001 Census data.  However, there have been minor changes in collection, definitions and classifications since the 2001 Census.  For example, in 2001, the motorbike category was worded ‘motorbike or power cycle’ but for 2006 and 2013 was just ‘motorbike’.  Furthermore, in 2001, multiple responses were dealt with by selecting the first mode; in 2006 and 2013, the response was ‘response unidentifiable’. However, these changes are not likely to have affected the data, as the use of power cycles is rare, and the number of multiple responses to this question is very low.
