flag New Zealand’s retirement housing gap is growing, with some regions far ahead, limiting access for older adults.

flag Regional disparities in retirement housing across New Zealand are widening, with the Bay of Plenty leading in village development at nearly 18% penetration, while areas like Wellington and the lower North Island remain underserved. flag This imbalance limits access to housing, health, and wellness options for older adults, often forcing families to travel farther for support. flag Factors include land costs, planning differences, and uneven project pipelines, compounded by a projected 40% rise in the 75+ population by 2033. flag Addressing these gaps is becoming increasingly urgent to ensure equitable access as demand grows.
