Subject: Official Information request - Housing Costs within the Consumer Price Index

Dear Statistics New Zealand,

I wish to request under the Official Information Act the following information:

Why housing prices are not a direct component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and instead only included as part of a boarder housing cost component.

Housing cost components and its changes within the CPI for the last 10 years.

What the level of home ownership has been for the last 10 years and what impact a decline in home ownership has on the housing CPI component.

Lastly does statistics New Zealand collect information on New Zealands population and migration figures along with housing stock and new building consents and feed this through to Immigration New Zealand when they come to set their migration targets.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Irish
