## The encyclopaedia on it

Clifton is a hillside suburb above Sumner in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton%2C_Christchurch), a tertiary source
Population: Stats NZ 2023 Census Statistical Area 2 counts summed over the suburb’s own areas, as Wikipedia maps them; the area is measured from the suburb boundary.

## Living here

New bonds here ran at about **$820 a week** in the April–June 2026 quarter, the middle half $606–$950, across 18 bonds, up 38% on a year ago. That’s about **$270 a week above** the city’s own quarter median of $550. Tenancy Services counts these under the “Clifton Hill” statistical area, close to this suburb’s outline, not exactly it.
- 1-bedroom house, $760 a week · 6 new bonds

Median and quartiles of weekly rents on new private bonds (Tenancy Services), new bonds only, not the whole stock.

- 65 and over: about 22% (411 people)
- Born overseas: about 30% of stated birthplace
- European ethnicity: about 97% of ethnicity responses

## The record on Clifton
- Clifton enters the written record in 10 February 1858, [“Page 10 Advertisements Column 3 (Lyttelton Times, 10 February 1858)”](https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/LT18580210.2.21.3), [Papers Past](https://www.chch.live/collection/papers-past).
- “Clifton” appears somewhere in 614 of the archive’s records.
- A Papers Past search for the name surfaced 30 records, leads by provenance.
- The first report here: parks, 9 June 2015, at 150 Clifton Terrace.
- Its busiest day was 10 June 2023, 8 reports in a single day.
- The street that keeps coming up is [Main Road](https://www.chch.live/street/clifton/main-road), reported on 255 separate days.
- For elections the suburb’s centre falls inside [Heathcote ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/heathcote), the [Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote community board](https://www.chch.live/boards/spreydon-cashmere-heathcote) is its local layer. The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards).

## How fast the council fixes things here (2,279 finished jobs on record)

The median council work order pinned in Clifton took **8 days** to resolve, the city-wide median is 3 days, so this ground runs slower than the city as a whole.
The slowest tenth of finished jobs waited 5 months or longer.
108 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 19 January 2021.

Work orders, not resident reports, the council’s MyCouncilTicket stream, and one job can appear in both. A median counts only finished jobs; open ones are named as open, never averaged in.

A track belongs to every suburb its line passes through.

## The line the Crown drew
The Crown’s 2011 classification drew 5.6% of this outline inside the residential red zone. A mapped area files under the suburb its middle sits in, and a classification is the record of a decision, not a finding about an address; the whole line is at [redzone](https://www.chch.live/redzone).
The mapped tsunami extent covers **5%** of this outline. The sea’s modelled reach, not a prediction, the plan’s inundation line, not the evacuation zones; the share is read from a sampled join. The whole extent is at [tsunami](https://www.chch.live/tsunami).
The plan’s slope-hazard bands cover **14%** of this outline, about 12 hectares, rockfall management area 1, cliff collapse management area 2, mass movement management area 2. The broad remaining-instability overlay covers **83%** of it besides, the plan’s background watch over the hill country. Shares read from a sampled join; a management overlay, not a prediction. The whole watch: [slope](https://www.chch.live/slope).
The plan’s schedule of sites significant to Ngāi Tahu covers **100%** of this outline, about 85 hectares, ngā tūranga tūpuna. Shares read from a sampled join; a recognition overlay, not a catalogue. The whole schedule: [cultural](https://www.chch.live/cultural).
The plan’s ecological schedules cover **2%** of this outline across **1** scheduled site, all of it protected under Schedule A. Shares read from a sampled join; a recognition overlay, not a survey. The whole ledger: [ecology](https://www.chch.live/ecology).
The plan’s landscape schedules cover **5%** of this outline across **3** scheduled areas, **1%** of it outstanding, the plan’s strongest landscape standing, and **29%** of it sits inside the coastal environment. Shares read from a sampled join; a protection overlay, not a ranking of views. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape).
The plan’s water-margin layers cross this outline, **19** classified reaches, the plan calling **Panorama Road Outfall** and **Kinsey Terrace Drain**
           by name, **2%** of it inside the setback strips, the widest holding **10 m** off the bank, and an esplanade line holds a public edge here. The margin is the plan’s drawing, not a survey of the bank. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin).
The plan’s allowed shape holds this outline, **2%** of it inside the residential overlays, the densest standing **Hills**. The shape is the plan’s permission, not a survey of what stands. The allowed shape: [density](https://www.chch.live/density).
The rebuild’s cameras filed **1,494** photographs on this ground, 2010–2016, stormwater work mostly. Each frame is a receipt the dig left behind, a work log, not a survey of what stands now. The whole record: [rebuild](https://www.chch.live/rebuild).
The pedal network threads this ground, **6.2 km** of cycleway crosses the outline, [Te Ara Ihutai Coastal Pathway](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/te-ara-ihutai-coastal-pathway). A segment counts under every suburb its path enters; the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways).
The remembered names stand on this ground, **3** inscribed plaques, [Shag Rock Reserve](https://www.chch.live/plaque/59804-shag-rock-reserve), [Brownlee Reserve](https://www.chch.live/plaque/66691-brownlee-reserve) among the grounds. The plaque is the register’s pin, not a surveyed spot; the whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques).
The rulebook binds this ground, **6** drawn instruments, 6 of them dog rules; the outline sits inside the takiwā of Te Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga. The bylaw is the instrument, this the map of it, the rulebook: [rules](https://www.chch.live/rules).
**1** parcel inside this outline sits on the hazardous-activities register, mostly chemical manufacture, application and bulk storage, 1 still doing the work. A listing records the work, not a soil test; the register is at [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards).
The files record **56** parcels of made or characterised ground inside this outline, about 6 hectares, mostly loess, silt, engineered fill. A record is the file’s word on what was laid, not a fresh survey; the layer is at [fill](https://www.chch.live/fill).
The rockfall survey mapped **136** rocks inside this outline across 81 survey pins, **77** came down, 4 still wobble easy. A pin may stand for a cluster and marks where the survey saw the rock, not where it is now; the survey is at [boulders](https://www.chch.live/boulders).
**1** parcel inside this outline carries a cleanup on the file, 1 marked verified. A cleanup on the file is the register’s word, not a clearance; the register is at [remediated](https://www.chch.live/remediated).
The 2019 liquefaction study put **94%** of this outline in the **"unlikely"** class. A class is the model’s verdict on a patch of ground, not a finding about an address; the study is at [vulnerability](https://www.chch.live/vulnerability).
The register puts **1** engineered rockfall defence inside this outline, 1 mesh drape. Nearly all are the emergency works the quake years left standing; the register is at [defences](https://www.chch.live/defences).
The council’s structure register stands **20** assets on this ground, 17 sets of steps, 3 boardwalks, sited at Sumner Beach, Brownlee Reserve, Port Hills 12 Rrz Land, Shag Rock. Site names are the register’s own labels; the layer is drawn on [the map](https://www.chch.live/map?layer=structures).
The register counts **137** living trees inside this outline, 22 carrying a protection, mostly Radiata Pine (w), Pohutukawa, Canary Island Palm. The file remembers **83** trees felled here. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands or stood; the canopy is at [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees).
The plan files **73%** of this outline under **Residential Hills**, **75%** residential, the rest mostly Transport 13%, Rural Port Hills 5%. A zone is a permission, not a description, the mix is a sampled read of the plan’s polygons; the district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones).
The plan’s exceptions touch **2%** of this outline, 5 qualifying matters, mostly section 6, heritage. A matter narrows how the density rule applies, it does not forbid; the mix is a sampled read, and the cultural-significance areas are the plan’s own unnamed ones. The register is at [matters](https://www.chch.live/matters).
The plan’s heritage schedule protects **1** place by name in this suburb, **1** graded highly significant, **Dwelling and Setting**. A setting is the ground the item stands in, each files under the suburb holding its centroid. The schedule is at [heritage](https://www.chch.live/heritage).
GeoNet’s catalogue puts 7 magnitude-3+ epicentres inside this outline since the sequence opened, the biggest a M3.5 in 2011. An epicentre is where the instruments placed the break, not a measure of the shaking here; the whole catalogue is counted at [sequence](https://www.chch.live/sequence), and the story in plain language is [the earthquakes explainer](https://www.chch.live/how-nz-works/canterbury-earthquakes).
