census
Rails app for visualising New Zealand Census data
Census data is released in one large CSV available from Stats New Zealand on a meshblock-level.
The data has been cleaned to remove some inaccuracies.
This project's goal is to provide a set of endpoints for plotting data on New Zealand maps.
See db/seeds.rb for how data is imported.
