Rotorua and Napier are the most crime-ridden parts of the nation, according to statistics analyzed by a Wellington-based data company.
Dot Loves Data analyzed crime statistics for towns and cities over the past five years and found that people living in North Island communities experiencing financial hardship or living in more deprived areas were up to five times more likely to be victims of crimes than the national average.
In Rotorua, 61.21 crimes were allowed for every 10,000 people per month. In Napier the figure was 59.68 crimes.
They were followed by Palmerston North (54.44), Hamilton (53.54), Taupō (50.36), Hastings (49.35), Gisborne (46.61) and the Far North (46.31).
