Housing in Endeavour West
Endeavour West is a statistical area 2, in Porirua City, one of 221 published across Wellington. A statistical area 2 is a Census geography of two to four thousand people and is not a suburb boundary: read it as the area around here. The guide to reading this data covers what that means, along with the four other rules these figures are published under.
Your figure stays in this browser. This compares the median rent paid by renting households here against the income you enter. It is not a measure of what the area costs on average, because owning households pay a mortgage rather than rent and the Census does not collect what they pay.
Who owns and who rents
Of the 897 households that stated their tenure, 666 owned or partly owned their home, 90 held it in a family trust, and 141 did not own it. The trust figure matters more than it looks: a home in a family trust is owned by the household in every practical sense, so the ownership rate quoted above adds the two together, and a figure that counted only the first would understate ownership in wealthier areas where trusts are common.

How it has changed
The Census runs every five years or so. These are the same measures in 2013, 2018 and 2023, in the money of each Census rather than adjusted, so part of any rise in rent is inflation. Read the direction rather than the exact step.

These are modelled estimates, not people counted. Stats NZ spreads its population estimates across a one kilometre grid, so a figure for a small area is the model as much as the place, and the numbers here are rounded from fractional values. Every other figure on this page is from the Census, which counts. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of this area, so a circle can cross a harbour or a range that no road crosses.
