3 more areas had fewer than 20 whole-home bonds over the year, too few to state a rent: Bethlehem South, Mount Maunganui Central, Pyes Pa South. You can still look them up in Know Your Suburb, which shows what the records do hold.
These are Stats NZ statistical areas, not suburbs as people name them, so a larger suburb can appear as several rows (a North, South and West, say). Search the tool for any one of them to see its rent by property type and size, and who lives there.

Where these numbers come from
Rents come from Tenancy Services rental bond data (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, CC BY 3.0 NZ), covering bonds lodged from July 2025 to June 2026. “Typical rent” is the four quarterly medians combined and weighted by the number of bonds behind each. That is close to a twelve-month median but not exactly one, which is why we call it typical rather than median.
It counts whole homes only: houses, flats and apartments. Rooms let individually are priced per bed and would drag the figure below what a whole property rents for. Where fewer than 20 bonds were lodged in an area over the year, no figure is shown.
Household figures come from the 2023 Census (Stats NZ, CC BY 4.0). Census counts are randomly rounded to protect confidentiality, so shares are approximate.
Figures: bond data to June 2026. These describe whole areas and cannot value an individual property. For that, ask us for an appraisal.
