Demographics give you information about New Zealand residents. Locate the number of individuals in New Zealand and various areas of New Zealand. The information is divided into population groups, for example by gender, ethnic origin and population. Demographic assessments and forecasts show how the population is evolving.

Demographic data also includes information on birth and death, immigration and the results of censuses. Population projections give the best measurement between the populations normally living in an area, by population, gender and population, for the whole of New Zealand. Household Labor Forces Survey is used to provide formal estimations of the number of persons in employment and jobless, inactive persons and the formal New Zealand jobless rates.

As of June 30, 2015 (preliminary)

The present press releases contains preliminary assessments of the residential population of the 16 New Zealand counties (regions), 67 municipalities and 21 Auckland LAs as of 30 June 2015. Demographic projections provide the best available measurement of the population normally residing in each area on an annually-base.

In June 2015, New Zealand's population increased by 86,900 (1.9 percent) to 4,596,700. Following an upturn of 67,600 (1.5 percent) in June of the year before. In 2015, the rate of change was the highest since 2003, when the population increased by 2. 0 cents. Last year's population expansion was due to a net rise in net numbers of migrations (more arriveals than departures) of 58,300 and a net rise (more arrivals than deaths) of 28,700.

Net immigration was the highest in a June year and about 20,000 higher than in June 2014 (38,300). This was the smallest rise since 2003 for the year to June 2015. On 30 June 2015, Auckland represented more than a third (34 percent) of New Zealand's population.

June 2015: Auckland' s population increased by 43,500 (2.9 percent) to 1. Auckland accounted for half (50 percent) of New Zealand's population expansion. In Auckland, more than two third (67 percent) of the population was net immigration, with the remainder (33 percent) coming from normal economic grow.

In June 2015, 15 of New Zealand's 16 provinces recorded population increase. Aside from Auckland, Canterbury (2. 1 percent) and Waikato (1. 9 percent) had population increase above the statewide mean (1. 9 percent). West-Coast was the only area to reduce population (down 0. 4 percent).

Except for Taranaki, all but Taranaki grew more rapidly in June 2015 than in the prior year. Taranaki's rise was only slightly lower than 2014 (0. 9 per cent versus 1. 1 per cent in June 2014 year). Each of the 16 areas showed population increases due to the use of nature, and 14 areas also recorded net migratory outflows.

The net migratory flows were the largest contributors to economic expansion in eleven of these areas, contributing more than three fourths to five South Island areas (Tasman, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury and Otago). Both Gisborne and the West Coast had low net migratory loss in June 2015. In June 2015, the North Island population increased by 69,100 (2.0 percent) to 3.

On June 30, 2002, the figure was 3.00 million. North Island population is largely focused on the four main local communities (Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Wellington). These four areas together account for 78 per cent of the population of the North Island since 2002. It also represented 78 per cent of North Island June 2015 economic expansion.

On 30 June 2015, these four local and regional governments accounted for 58 per cent of the population of the North Island. Three of the 43 local and regional governments on the North Island have seen their populations decline over the last year: Opotiki (down 0. 3 percent) and Wairoa (down 0. 2 percent).

All three of New Zealand's most rapidly expanding municipalities were on the South Island in June 2015. The Selwyn region saw the highest increase (6. 5 percent), followed by Queenstown-Lakes (4. 9 percent) and Waimakariri (3. 6 percent). Also these three areas have grown most rapidly in the last two years.

Overall, the population of the South Island had grown by 17,900 (1.7 percent) by June 2015, slightly more than in the prior year by 15,700 (1.5 percent). South Island's overall gain was made up of a net inflow of 3,800 and a net inflow of 14,100. Christchurch (Waimakariri, Christchurch and Selwyn) accounted for more than three out of five (62 percent) of the area.

Each of the three areas recorded significant net migratory benefits and lower profits from increases in nature. Only two of the 23 South Island municipalities experienced a population decline: bullers (below 2. 1 percent) and waimates (below 0. 1 percent). Waitemata was the fastestgrowing region in Auckland with an 8,300 (9.7 percent) GCG.

were Waiheke (3. 3 percent), Upper Harbour (3. 2 percent), Hibiscus and Bays (3. 2 percent) and Papakura (3. 0 percent). Big barrier was the only landline board area to have a small population decline (down 0. 1 percent), with the remaining areas all having population increase between 1. 7 percent and 3.

zero per cent Each of the 21 districts recorded net migratory benefits; Great Barrier was the only area not to record increases in population. On 30 June 2015, 25 per cent of the population of Wairoa were 0-14 years old, well above the country nationwide averages (' 20 per cent). Further areas with a high proportion of them were Kawerau (25 percent), Gisborne and Waitomo (both 24 percent).
