Trust in Public Institutions in New Zealand
Figure A.1. Trust in the local government
Share of respondents who indicate trust in the local government in New Zealand, selected countries and OECD average, 2021
Note: Figure presents responses to the question “On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is not at all and 10 is completely, how much do you trust the local government?”. In New Zealand, the question was formulated as local government councillors. The “trust” proportion is the aggregation of responses from 6-10 on the scale; “neutral” is equal to a response of 5; “do not trust” is the aggregation of responses from 0-4; and “Don't know” was a separate answer choice. OECD(22) refers to the unweighted average across 22 OECD countries.
