How the New Lynn Seabrook figure is calculated

Take every tenancy bond lodged with Tenancy Services in Q1 2026 for the statistical area that is New Lynn Seabrook — 21 of them.
Discard any cell built on fewer than five bonds. MBIE withholds those to protect individual tenants, which is why some bedroom sizes below show a dash.
Publish the released median unchanged — New Lynn Seabrook is a single statistical area, so no combining step is needed.
Report the median rather than the average: a handful of very expensive tenancies cannot drag it.
weekly median = published area median annual gross rent = weekly median × 52 = $33,800
