Abstract
Few metrics of area-level socioeconomic deprivation exist that are comparable over time and space. This study aimed to create a consistent historic time-series area-level deprivation metric for 1981, 1986 and 1991 in Aotearoa New Zealand (hereafter, New Zealand) using census data at census area unit (CAU) level. Consistent variables, geography and statistical methods were employed over time. The metric revealed a gradual worsening of area-level deprivation in NZ from 1981 to 1991. We provide a historical perspective on New Zealand's socioeconomic conditions during the 1980s and early 1990s, which provides a platform for longitudinal studies in New Zealand to account for historical area-level deprivation.
He iti noa ngā inenga ā-wāhi mō te pakukore ohapori ka taea te whakataurite i roto i te wā, i ngā wāhi rerekē. Ko te whāinga o tēnei rangahau ko te hanga i te inenga pakukore ā-wāhi houanga ōrite mō te 1981, 1986 me te 1991 i Aotearoa mā te whakamahi raraunga tatauranga i te taumata wae wāhi tatauranga (CAU). I whakamahia ngā taurangi, te matawhenua me ngā tikanga tauanga e ōrite ana i roto i te wā. He mea whakaatu mai e te inenga i te kino haerenga o te pakukore ā-wahi mai i 1981 ki te 1991. Ko tā mātou nei, he whakarato i te tirohanga aronehe ki ngā āhuatanga ohapori o Aotearoa i ngā tau 1980 me te pane o ngā tau 1990, tērā ka whakarato i tētahi pūhara whakarewa i ngā rangahau wā roa i Aotearoa e aro ana ki te pakukore ā-wāhi i roto i te wā.
