Abstract
High-quality geospatial data are required to examine how the places in which we reside, work and play determine health outcomes; however, seldom is the quality of nationwide geospatial data reported. We examined the quality of geospatial data of public drinking water distribution zones (WDZ) across all territorial authorities in Aotearoa New Zealand to investigate structural inequities in data quality. In our national dataset of WDZ, we identified several differences in the quality of geospatial information that are associated with the population, area-level deprivation, ethnicity and most of all urban/rural classification. Our research highlights structural data inequity, which may undermine efforts to reduce health inequity.
