Census 2018 - filling in the gapsSUPPLIED The 2018 census was the first to be done mostly online. Along with the emphasis on getting the 2018 census online, another concept that's getting plenty of attention this time around is "imputation" - filling in the gaps. Stats NZ's report 2018 Census - a modernised, digital-first census shows the visiting phase running through to April 16. "The 2018 census will benefit from an increasingly sophisticated statistical environment, particularly around the availability of administrative data," Stats NZ said. For the 2018 census, Stats NZ also significantly reviewed the meshblocks, and now breaks New Zealand down into 53,589 of them, up from 46,637.
