Auckland at a glance

16% of titles in Auckland's suburbs were first issued since 2020, above New Zealand (12%). 82% of titles are within 400 m of a public transport stop with a scheduled weekday service, and 54% within 400 m of a frequent one. 48% of titles are within 1 km of the sea or harbour edge. The wider district is about as wet as the national average for homes (1,030 mm of rain a year, against 1,000 mm) and warmer than it (15.9°C, against 13.5°C), on NASA POWER's ~50 km grid.
