Culture

Full chapter
Culture includes our values, beliefs, traditions, communities and heritage and how we participate in and express ourselves in relation to our culture. Diversity can be a source of celebration, but can also be associated with misunderstanding and discrimination.

Environment

Full chapter
Auckland’s natural environment is highly diverse and supports a wide (but somewhat threatened) range of different plants and animals.  It also provides Aucklanders with resources, income, aesthetic beauty and space for recreation.  This section also considers Aucklanders attitudes to our environment and responsibilities to care for it.

Housing

Full chapter
Housing is more than accommodation: it locates people in a community, and where someone lives affects how they feel, the people they interactwith, their health and their relationships with others.

Access

Full chapter
Access refers to the ability of Aucklanders to physically and virtually access the places, services and opportunities they need to lead fulfilling lives.  This section explores barriers to access, perceptions and attitudes to access, and factors affecting access across Auckland. 

Safety

Full chapter
Safety refers to both the reality of how safe Aucklanders are and their perceptions of safety.  Safety is relevant across a range of environments; on the road, in the water, on the computer or phone, at home or on the street.  The section also looks at which factors can increase or decrease the safety of Aucklanders.

Economic Well-being

Full chapter
Economic well-being affects social outcomes such as health, safety, education and housing. This section seeks to understand what contributes to the health of Auckland’s economy, and how inequalities are affecting the people and households of Auckland.

Employment

Full chapter
Employment is important in earning an income, connecting with others, and enjoying personal feelings of satisfaction.  This section looks at Auckland’s employment landscape, the wealth of knowledge and skills enjoyed by Aucklanders, challenges and barriers to better employment, and predictions for the future. 

Education

Full chapter
Education includes schooling, formal education, skills development and training, informal education, and life-long learning.  Education is essential in achieving other social outcomes, particularly employment, economic wellbeing, and self-development. 

Health

Full chapter
Health can be considered narrowly as the absence of disease or frailty, or broadly as total physical, mental and social well-being.  This section considers Aucklanders perceptions and experiences of health and the health trends in Auckland’s communities.
