Waikato Progress Indicators report card image

These Waikato Progress Indicators (WPI) measure the Waikato region’s progress by identifying our current situation and trends across each of 32 key economic, environmental and social aspects. Together, these indicators provide a ‘dashboard’ picture of the overall ‘health’ of the Waikato region and the wellbeing and quality of life of its people and communities.

We’ve gathered and summarised information from about 2000 to the latest available, with a particular focus on the years since 2006/2007. We have developed an interactive WPI Dashboard that provides easy access to all the data and allows to explore and learn about the WPI indicators.

We can use this information to help us identify which aspects we are doing well in, where we need to improve, and how changes in one aspect are linked with or affected by changes in others. So, are we on track?

Scorecard

The WPI ‘scorecard’ shows changes and trends for each of the 32 indicators, at a glance. Click here to see the scorecard, and view our region’s progress.

Report cards

We’ve summarised key information for each of the 32 WPIs into a report card. Each report card includes a summary of the current state and recent changes and trends in relation to that indicator (results) and information about what the particular indicator means, why it is important and how the results were obtained (for example, by listing the data source).
