Suburb vs suburb

Q: What does this page compare?

Two Christchurch suburbs' public records side by side: reports filed with the council, crashes in the official record, schools, parks, bus stops, heritage places, population and density. Every number is drawn from the same datasets the suburb pages use.

Q: Where does the data come from?

The same public sources as the suburb pages: council report and fix records via Snap Send Solve, NZTA's Crash Analysis System, the council's parks, facilities and school layers, Metro's stop data, the Heritage New Zealand register, and Statistics NZ census figures via Wikipedia's suburb summaries.

Pick two suburbs, the same record answers for both. Reports filed, crashes counted, schools, parks, bus stops and the places the register remembers, in one table with the caveats still attached.

Counts are what the public record holds, a report tally measures the stream, not the suburb’s virtue.

Or try one: the city vs Riccarton · Linwood vs Phillipstown · Akaroa vs Lyttelton

A shared pair answers without a script, the tries above render straight from the record. To pick your own suburbs, the record is still readable: every suburb has its own page under /suburb.

Questions, answered briefly

What does this page compare?

Two suburbs' public records side by side: reports filed, crashes counted, schools, parks, bus stops, heritage places, population and density. Every number is the same dataset the suburb pages use.

Does a suburb with more reports have more problems?

Not necessarily. The record counts what people chose to report, population, awareness and reporting habits all move the number. Read it as the suburb’s report stream, not a complaint league table.

Where does the data come from?

The same public sources as everywhere else on the site: council reports via Snap Send Solve, NZTA’s Crash Analysis System, the council’s parks and facilities layers, Metro’s stop data, the Heritage New Zealand register, and census figures via Wikipedia’s suburb summaries.
