Economy
In addition to State Highway 1 passing through the suburb, Harewood is a major transport hub for Christchurch and the South Island owing to Christchurch International Airport sitting within the suburb. The airport is the second-busiest in New Zealand after only Auckland Airport, bringing approximately 6.9 million passengers through Harewood in 2019. As a result of the airport, Harewood is also home to many freight and other industrial businesses which rely upon proximity to the airport, as well as rental car and campervan companies.
The suburb is also home to the International Antarctic Centre, a major Christchurch tourist attraction centred around the city's role as a departure point for many national Antarctic programmes. The centre was established in 1990, and is home to the administration offices of the New Zealand, United States, and Italian Antarctic programmes alongside multiple Antarctic-focused attractions. Hagglund armoured vehicles can occasionally be seen on roads around the Centre, offering rides to tourists.
The median income of Harewood residents aged 15 or more was $29,900 per annum, $100 more than the median income for the whole of Christchurch city.
