Of 63,988 households, 18,539 are described as "one-person". 29 percent.
Talking about the Housing NZ stock not matching the need in parliament yesterday, Bill English said:
Hon BILL ENGLISH : Around one-third of Housing New Zealand houses—$18.7 billion worth of them—are the wrong size and in the wrong place. Just, for instance, 45 percent of current tenancies are for one single person—45 percent of our houses are occupied by one person—but only 9 percent of the housing stock has one bedroom.
I immediately thought the first figure was too high so went back and double-checked my figures.
The data is split initially into five main regions, then broken down further. The following is the largest region in terms of tenancies, East and South Auckland:
| Total | % | ||
| Couple only | 794 | 4.7% | |
| Couple only and other person(s) | 70 | 0.4% | |
| Couple with child(ren) | 3,873 | 22.8% | |
| Couple with child(ren) and other person(s) | 533 | 3.1% | |
| Household of related and unrelated people | 223 | 1.3% | |
| Household of related people | 1,746 | 10.3% | |
| Household of unrelated people | 111 | 0.7% | |
| One parent with child(ren) | 5,878 | 34.7% | |
| One parent with child(ren) and other person(s) | 1,183 | 7.0% | |
| One-person household | 2,501 | 14.7% | |
| Other multi-person household nfd | 51 | 0.3% | |
| Total | 16,963 |
The next one is Northland, Western and Central Auckland (though the percentages do not add up and neither do they in the remaining areas.)
| Total | % | |
| Couple only | 979 | 5.8% |
| Couple only and other person(s) | 50 | 0.3% |
| Couple with child(ren) | 2,623 | 15.5% |
| Couple with child(ren) and other person(s) | 332 | 2.0% |
| Household of related and unrelated people | 139 | 0.8% |
| Household of related people | 1,019 | 6.0% |
| Household of unrelated people | 214 | 1.3% |
| One parent with child(ren) | 4,290 | 25.3% |
| One parent with child(ren) and other person(s) | 717 | 4.2% |
| One-person household | 4,618 | 27.2% |
| Other multi-person household nfd | 41 | 0.2% |
| Total | 15,022 |
You can check the rest of the data yourself if interested. Time constraints at this end. Perhaps the error lies with me but I can't see it.

Tenancy could be for one person but they could then take in boarders? This would mean that in MSD data they would come under households of related / unrelated people. How often are tenancies updated? In the meantime people could marry or have a child?
