That thing you linked me to is for the HPI-1, for less developed countries. Ranked by HDI. The data for HPI-2 is shown below in an awful table (copy paste from excel is pretty awful it turns out).

As you can see NZ doesn't have an HPI rank because there is no data for one of the sections, but in all other sections we are better than the US.

 

Edit: To view full table you'll have to click on 'quote' and then you can use scroll bars.

Edit2: Gah. Link to the excel file is better. http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/HDR_2009_Tables_rev.xls
