The Talking Auckland Summer Series

 

The Talking Auckland 2013/2014 Summer Series, a collection of photos, quips, and light stories from around Auckland over the Christmas–New Year run. Normal Talking Auckland commentary will resume from 13th January, 2014.

Note: Summer Series Post 4.2 will be up early next week once I trek out to get the rest of the photos 

 

Summer Series Post #7

Auckland population density

 

Some highlights from Thomas Lumley at Stats Chat

name	location	people/sq km
1	Auckland Central East	Auckland City	10911
2	Auckland Central West	Auckland City	10032
3	Grafton West	Auckland City	6414
4	Eden Terrace	Auckland City	5550
5	Burbank	Manukau City	5180

 

You can read the rest over in Stats Chat – http://www.statschat.org.nz/2013/12/29/auckland-population-density/ – where 15 of the top 30 were located in the Manukau City area, 14 in the Auckland isthmus area, and one in West Auckland. And before some bright spark points it out I am aware the top four spots are occupied by the CBD and CBD fringes. One would expect that wouldn’t they?

For the rest I did find the top 30 somewhat surprising but some what expected to if one factors in Socio-Economic demographics to a limited extent as well.
