Auckland accounts for 33% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 1st-largest of the 17 regions by venue count. Those 5,763 venues sit across 267 named towns and suburbs, of which 79 carry at least 20 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Auckland (1,270), Albany (143) and Newmarket (142) hold 27% of everything between them. The remaining 188 places average 5.7 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 91% eating to 9% accommodation, against a national 75/25. Accommodation is thinner on the ground here than nationally, which is what a region with more residents than tourists looks like in the data.
2,847 venues in Auckland carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on beef bowl (4), oriental (8) and persian (4), and under-indexes on american and fish and chips.
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 1,337 venues here publish opening hours (23% against 23% nationally), 1,119 list a website, and 248 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.
