Data does not exist

Hello Statistics NZ does not use postcodes in its geographic standards. They have different boundaries to official statistical areas and are copyright to NZ Post. See the link below for the statistical geographic standard. https://www.stats.govt.nz/methods/statistical-standard-for-geographic-areas-2018 Regards Information Centre team, Stats NZ

    Kia ora Rahul. Stats NZ produce population data based on the 'Statistical standard for geographic areas 2023', which can be found here https://www.stats.govt.nz/methods/statistical-standard-for-geographic-areas-2023/.

    Post codes are not part of the statistical standards, they remain part of NZ Post.

    We do have population estimates by Statistical Area 2 here https://explore.data.stats.govt.nz/vis?fs[0]=Society%2C1%7CPopulation%20estimates%23CAT_POPULATION_ESTIMATES%23%7CSubnational%20population%20estimates%23CAT_SUBNATIONAL_POPULATION_ESTIMATES%23&pg=0&fc=Area&bp=true&snb=9&df[ds]=ds-nsiws-disseminate&df[id]=POPES_SUB_004&df[ag]=STATSNZ&df[vs]=1.0&dq=1996%2B2001%2B2006%2B2013%2B2018%2B2019%2B2020%2B2021%2B2022%2B2023.SEX3.TOTALALLAGES.12%2B13%2B14%2B15%2B16%2B17%2B18%2B99%2BNZRC%2B01%2B02%2B03%2B04%2B05%2B06%2B07%2B08%2B09%2BNIRC%2BSIRC&ly[rw]=AREA_POPES_SUB_004&ly[cl]=YEAR_POPES_SUB_004&to[TIME]=false.

    Hi, Please can you help me find with finding the population numbers in New Zealand based on the Zip Codes nationally, according to the data and statistics held by your organization? I have been able to get the list of the ZIP codes and the names of the towns/Cities but would like to add the population numbers for the same for the project I am doing. Thank you in advance for the help. Yes I have read the comments above and am hoping that things have changed with the time and technology passing.
