Auckland stands out as the only city in our sample to experience falling discretionary income. In all, discretionary income fell $96 per week in real terms between 2008 and 2018 (approximately 5.8 per cent of annual gross household income).

- Basic expenditure is increasing faster in Auckland than elsewhere.
- Auckland house prices have risen more than all cities in Australasia, with the possible exception of Sydney.
