Notes
Revision 2 (2026-11-09, steward fix): Scope qualified: economically significant geographic units only; public school and community dental clinics are excluded. Derived: sum of 65 territorial authorities = 2,724 (Auckland 1,014; Christchurch 300; Wellington 183; Tauranga 126; Hamilton 120; Dunedin 114; others). Each cell is randomly rounded to base 3 by Stats NZ, so each cell can be off by up to 2 and the sum by up to about 130 in theory (random errors largely cancel; expected error is a few tens); Chatham Islands not listed. Site-based (closer to clinics than the 2,568 enterprise count, which moves to dental_businesses_total). Excludes non-economically-significant units and public school/community dental clinics run inside Health NZ hospitals unless coded Q8531.
