The Social Investment Measurement Map (SIMM) provides people with information on what type of measures are available before they access Statistics New Zealand's Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). It's intended to be used during the scoping phase of a project to assess what can be measured in the IDI.
The majority, but not all, of the indicators in the IDI are listed here. More indicators will need to be added at a later point. If you wish to add more measures, or suggest improvements to the information about current measures, please send us an email.
The SIMM table (below) is best viewed on a desktop PC or laptop.
Each of the columns can be filtered or searched using the text fields or drop down menus. For information on the SIMM's development and instructions, see the guide: Social Investment Measurement Map guide.
