Porirua
6.6
High score (8-10)
Genuine diversity shapes the actual social fabric — Samoan and Chinese populations are the real community, not marketing. Transit hub with less polish, more authentic than Wellington.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Good cultural mixing and direct train access to the capital. High gang activity and poverty create real safety and dating perception issues though.
Lower score (below 6)
Serious organized gang presence and poverty concentration — this isn't perceived risk, it's structural. Independent dating scene is thin, neighborhood reputation deters outsiders.
