Subnational short-term NZ-resident arrivals

Methodology for determining the NZ-location information in short-term NZ-resident arrival records The geographic location of short-term NZ-resident arrivals is determined by a process that accesses integrated records of NZ-residents’ unique travel histories (sourced from NZ Customs Service) and address notification histories in the Stats NZ IDI (address_notification table compiled by Stats NZ IDI). From integration of NZ-residents’ travel histories and IDI address notifications the addresses with notification dates closest to the arrival dates are selected as the NZ location. Short-term NZ-resident arrivals may have a recorded NZ location from a previous short-term overseas trip, and this is regarded as a valid NZ location when a subsequent movement for the traveller has not been linkable to the IDI.
