Maori (Census 96) (1996) - Reference Reports
What It's About

This publication contains final statistics from the 1996 Census of Population and Dwellings, New Zealand's 30th national census, held on 5 March 1996. It is one of a series of reference reports which provide detailed statistics on the characteristics of New Zealand's population, households and dwellings.

Almost all the information in this report relates to the usually resident New Zealand population who identified as belonging to the Mäori ethnic group on Census night 1996. The only exceptions are two tables based on the population with Mäori ancestry and one chronicling changes in the size of the Mäori population over time. The tables presented cover a wide range of demographic, social and economic characteristics of the Mäori ethnic group including topics such as language, income, labour force, educational qualifications and the characteristics of the households and families within which Mäori live.

Statistics New Zealand gratefully acknowledges the participation of everyone in New Zealand in supplying information for the census. This report will introduce users to the extensive range of census data which is available.
