Abstract
This paper summarises the results of a PhD thesis, ‘The Mortality of New Zealand Housing Stock’ [1]. Because data on dwelling losses by age are unavailable in New Zealand, patterns of dwelling losses between 1860–1980 are simulated using an indirect mortality model approach. The main findings are that New Zealand housing stock has been exposed to a regime of mortality which is a function of age and the expansion rate of housing stock. As a result of fluctuations in the expansion rate, each dwelling cohort has been exposed to different regimes of mortality. About 50% of dwellings have been lost from each dwelling cohort by the age of 90 years and the distribution of losses follows that of a bell shape skewed to the left.
