1. 2013 Census QuickStats about culture and identity
2013 Census QuickStats about culture and identity gives you information about New
Zealand's increasingly diverse population.
Find out about:
•
ethnic groups in New Zealand
•
birthplace and people born overseas
•
languages spoken
•
religious affiliation.
All 2013 data in this report is based on the census usually resident population count from
New Zealand's 2013 Census of Population and Dwellings, held on 5 March 2013. The
2006 and 2001 data that has been included for comparison purposes is based on the
census usually resident population counts from New Zealand's 2006 and 2001 Censuses.

2. Ethnic groups in New Zealand
New Zealand's major ethnic groups continue to grow
The European ethnic group was still New Zealand's largest major ethnic group at the
2013 Census. Nearly three-quarters of the population (2,969,391 people or 74.0 percent)
identified with one or more European ethnicities. This compared with 67.6 percent
(2,609,589 people) in 2006. The increase seems to be partly due to fewer people
identifying themselves as 'New Zealander' in 2013.
Other major ethnic groups that increased in size included:
•
Māori – 14.9 percent of the population in 2013 (598,605 people), up from 14.6
percent in 2006 (565,329)
•
Asian – 11.8 percent of the population (471,708), up from 9.2 percent (354,552)
•
Pacific peoples – 7.4 percent of the population (295,941), up from 6.9 percent
(265,974)
•
Middle Eastern/Latin American/African – 1.2 percent of the population (46,953), up
from 0.9 percent (34,743).

Middle Eastern/Latin American/African, and Asian
ethnic groups on the rise
The Middle Eastern/Latin American/African, and Asian ethnic groups increased by more
than 30 percent over the seven years between the 2006 and the 2013 Censuses. Of the
major ethnic groups, those with the largest percentage increases were:

2013 Census QuickStats about culture and identity.
•
Middle Eastern/Latin American/African (up 35.1 percent)
•
Asian (up 33.0 percent)
•
European (up 13.8 percent)
•
Pacific peoples (up 11.3 percent)
•
Māori (up 5.9 percent).
Māori most likely to identify with more than one ethnic
group
More than half of Māori (53.5 percent or 320,406 people) identified with two or more
ethnic groups, compared with 46.5 percent who identified with Māori only. Māori was the
only major ethnic group in which people were more likely to identify with two or more
major ethnic groups than just one.
In other major ethnic groups, the proportions of people identifying with two or more major
ethnic groups were:
•
European – 13.3 percent
•
Asian – 9.9 percent
•
Pacific peoples – 37.2 percent
•
Middle Eastern/Latin American/African – 16.8 percent.

Younger people identify with more ethnic groups than
older people
Children (0–14 years) were more likely than people aged 65 years and over to belong to
more than one ethnic group. This difference has increased since the 2006 Census. In
2013, the proportions of these two age groups identifying with more than one ethnic
group were:

•
children – 22.8 percent (19.7 percent in 2006)
•
65 years and over – 2.6 percent (3.5 percent in 2006).
Overall, the proportion of the population identifying with more than one ethnic group
increased across recent censuses. The proportions of people identifying with more than
one ethnic group were:
•
11.2 percent in 2013
•
10.4 percent in 2006
•
9.0 percent in 2001.

3. European ethnic group
Higher proportion of Europeans in South Island regions
All South Island regions had a higher proportion of people who identified with one or more
European ethnicities than any region in the North Island.
The region in the South Island with the highest proportion of people who identified with
one or more European ethnicities was the Tasman region (93.1 percent), and the lowest
was the Canterbury region (86.9 percent).
The region in the North Island with the highest proportion of people who identified with
one or more European ethnicities was the Taranaki region (86.2 percent), and the lowest
was the Auckland region (59.3 percent).
Decrease in people with English or Australian ethnicity
Compared with the previous census, fewer people living in New Zealand identified with
either the English ethnic group or the Australian ethnic group.
In 2013, 38,916 people identified with the English ethnic group – a decrease of 5,286
people (12.0 percent) from 2006.
The median age of people with English ethnicity was 46.0 years, which was older than
the median age of all people identifying with the European ethnic group (41.0 years).
Only 10.9 percent of people identifying with the English ethnic group were born in New
Zealand, with most (89.1 percent) born overseas.
In 2013, 22,467 people identified as Australian – a decrease of 3,888 people (14.8
percent) from 2006. Most of these people (90.8 percent in 2013) were born overseas.
However, between 2006 and 2013, some European ethnic groups experienced an
increase in New Zealand, including:
•
British not further defined – up 8,832 people (32.5 percent)
•
Russian – up 1,143 people (23.6 percent)
•
German – up 1,893 people (17.3 percent)
•
American – up 1,533 people (14.2 percent)
•
Irish – up 1,542 people (12.2 percent).

4. Māori ethnic group
Māori ethnic group increasing in almost every region
The percentage of people who identified with the Māori ethnic group increased in almost
all regions between 2006 and 2013. The two regions with the biggest increases were:
•
Gisborne – 48.9 percent of the population were Māori in 2013 (up from 47.3
percent in 2006)
•
Taranaki – 17.4 percent were Māori in 2013 (up from 15.8 percent in 2006).
Only two regions did not have an increase in the percentage of Māori:
•
Auckland – 10.7 percent of the population were Māori in 2013 (down from 11.1
percent in 2006)
•
Bay of Plenty – 27.5 percent were Māori in 2013 (the same as in 2006).
Gisborne and Northland regions had the highest proportion of Māori. Almost half of the
people (48.9 percent) in the Gisborne region and a third (32.4 percent) in the Northland
region identified with the Māori ethnic group.
Of all regions, Gisborne had the highest median age for Māori at 26.3 years. Māori in the
Northland and Marlborough regions were also slightly older, having a median age of 25.8
years, compared with a median age of 23.9 years for all Māori living in New Zealand. In
contrast, Māori living in the Otago region were slightly younger, with a median age of 21.9
years.
Of all regions, Canterbury had the highest percentage of Māori who were male (50.9
percent or 21,324 people). Canterbury was the only region where there were more Māori
males than Māori females.
Māori are a youthful population
A high proportion of Māori (43.6 percent or 260,940 people) were aged under 20 in 2013,
compared with the 27.4 percent of the total population in this age group. However, the
median age of Māori (23.9 years) increased since 2006, when it was 22.7 years.
Children (0–14 years) made up 33.8 percent of Māori in 2013. Of all regions, Tasman had
the highest proportion of Māori who were children, at 36.2 percent.
Almost a quarter of Māori children (23.7 percent or 48,033 people) lived in the Auckland
region, 14.2 percent (28,659) in the Waikato region, and 11.5 percent (23,247) in the Bay
of Plenty region.

Many Māori children also identify with other major
ethnic groups
Māori children (aged 0–14 years) were more likely than Māori adults to also identify with
the Pacific peoples, Asian, or Middle Eastern/Latin American/African major ethnic groups.
Of Māori who identified with one or more of these groups:
•
58.8 percent (28,884) who identified with Pacific peoples were children
•
58.7 percent (945) who identified with Middle Eastern/Latin American/African were
children
•
51.9 percent (5,322) who identified with at least one of the Asian ethnic groups
were children
•
39.9 percent (116,820) who identified with European were children.
The proportion of Māori who also identified as European has continued to increase. In
2013, almost half (48.9 percent or 292,938 people) of Māori also identified with at least
one of the European ethnicities, compared with 42.2 percent in 2006, and 40.5 percent in
2001.
