The websites for extra insight into Fairfield are Government statistics through census data, a link between occupation and income levels  http://www.trademe.co.nz/jobs/salary-guide
and finally http://www.enz.org/new-zealand-salaries.html.  There may be other sites that you find as well but these plus the Zoodle.co.nz site allow you to cross reference your data

Congratulations on submitting your first assessment due on Monday at 10.30am. You are moving towards more complex analysis and discussion of data about Fairfeild.
