What this page can’t tell you
- Residents aren't diners. Workers and visitors who live elsewhere aren't counted, and the ages are 2020 estimates.
- The map misses places, and says nothing about how busy any of them is.
- Nothing here covers the lease: rent, visibility and parking.
Two checks only you can do: count who walks past at your hours, and test the rent against cautious sales. For census counts, see the Stats NZ place summary for Wellington City.
