Gracefield is in Wellington, New Zealand, with population 102.

Limited data

Thin-context

This page still helps with local context, but the evidence stack is too thin for a clean suburb-level call. Use nearby alternatives or compare mode before turning it into a shortlist decision.

Why it fits

Transport coverage adds a practical access signal.

What to check

The page is thin enough that nearby alternatives should be checked before shortlisting. Higher deprivation should be treated as a local-context caution. Small local population makes the signal set more fragile.

Figures are for the Lower Hutt City territorial authority (as at 2026-02). New Zealand has no free suburb-level sale-price series, so these are TA-wide medians from HUD Local Housing Statistics (LINZ District Valuation Roll + Stats NZ) — a market backdrop for Gracefield, not a Gracefield-specific sale price.

Gracefield Wellington — Property Data and Demographics

Gracefield is a small community in Wellington with a population of 102 and a median age of 48. Median personal income is $49K per year. The main ethnic groups are European, Māori, MELAA. Wellington population estimates moved +0.8% in the year ended June 2024, after averaging +0.8% a year from 2018 to 2023, which should be read as a broader regional movement backdrop rather than suburb-level migration precision. The resident employment base moved from 93 in 2018 to 63 in 2023 (-32.3%), which should be read as a census-to-census employment backdrop rather than a live jobs series. Te Waihanga's December 2025 Pipeline snapshot tracked over 12,000 NZ infrastructure initiatives, with more than 2,700 under construction and transport taking 52% of projected 2026 pipeline spend, which should be read as a broader national delivery backdrop rather than a suburb-specific project list.

Sources & freshness
Thin evidence

Treat Gracefield as a thin local read, not a complete suburb verdict.

NZ suburb pages combine Stats NZ, MBIE, MoE, GTFS, and pinned service coverage. The key difference is that some items are direct feeds, while others are fallback or snapshot layers.

RENT POSTURE
Rent is using MBIE bond data when present.

Treat current rent as a decision input, not as a guaranteed market quote.

HOSPITAL POSTURE
Hospital coverage comes from an official pinned snapshot.

This is a trusted coverage layer, but it is still a pinned snapshot rather than a live facility API.

TRANSPORT POSTURE
Transport is feed-based and depends on GTFS bundle coverage.

It is good for stop presence and local network context, but not a guarantee that every operator or schedule is equally current.

Sparse locality note

This page stays indexable because Gracefield still carries enough real local context to help with NZ suburb discovery. It should still be read as a lighter locality brief, not as a fully covered suburb profile.

WHY IT LOOKS LIGHTER
This suburb has a very small Census footprint.

Very small-population places can still matter locally, but they behave more like narrow locality reads than broad suburb decision pages.

WHAT IS MISSING
Coverage is lighter across school matches and hospital coverage.

The lighter areas here are school matches and hospital coverage, so one sparse reading should not stand in for the whole suburb story.

BEST NEXT STEP
Use this page to frame the locality, then compare or zoom back out.

Start with the region hub, compare view, or nearby better-covered suburbs before treating this page as a full market decision.

Page status
INDEXED WITH LIGHTER COVERAGE

The page still has enough real suburb context to remain searchable, but some market and service layers are too light for a full-confidence read.

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Let this page frame the locality, then check the story against compare, the region hub, or a nearby better-covered suburb before treating it as final.
