Hamilton city community profiles provide information about community areas across Hamilton. The community profile will cover the following topics: § background of the area § physical description of location and boundaries § demographic and social statistics compiled from the 2013 Census. Where applicable, results will be compared with the Hamilton average § perceptions of the local community about their life experiences living in the area, compiled from the community survey § the views of residents about social services and public facilities, compiled from the community survey § community needs, compiled from the community survey. Who can use this community profile? The profile is designed to be used by individuals and organisations with an interest in the community and it is intended to provide assistance to decision making for community initiatives and projects. The profiles are also designed to be used by the residents of the community themselves, to help form a better understanding of their area and how it compares with other areas and the greater Hamilton community. sources Information has been accessed primarily from two sources: § Census 2013 (Statistics New Zealand) § Hamilton City Council community surveys, conducted in 2014. Both these sources provide a snapshot of data at the time they were taken. Data generally does not measure longitudinal trends. about east area 3 East Area 3 is located in the Central Eastern part of Hamilton. The area is predominantly residential.

Ten indicators are used to create the index, and include income, education, employment and housing figures. The country is then profiled in one of ten deprivation levels, from 1 (least deprived) to 10 (most deprived). The six units that make up East Area 3 are between 8 and 10, indicating a high level of deprivation (Fig. 6).

A general question used to establish how participants feel about their quality of life, ranked from a line of high standard of living to low (Fig. 7). Respondents were also asked to assess how well their income meets their everyday needs. This question was asked to establish a greater understanding of the relationship between incomes and living costs, as opposed to simply measuring annual income (Fig. 8). Respondents were also asked to identify neighbourhood problems that may impact on quality of life. These ranged from distance to services and safety, to neighbourhood nuisances such as barking dogs (Fig. 9).
