New South Wales accounts for 29% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 1st-largest of the 8 regions by venue count. Those 18,810 venues sit across 1,903 named towns and suburbs, of which 153 carry at least 25 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Sydney (2,184), Parramatta (355) and Chatswood (280) hold 15% of everything between them. The remaining 1,750 places average 4.5 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 80% eating to 24% accommodation, against a national 75/25. That is close to the national balance.
7,517 venues in New South Wales carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on mixed (7), hungarian (4) and acai (9).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 3,290 venues here publish opening hours (17% against 17% nationally), 4,573 list a website, and 1,078 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
