Population Structure and Internal Migration (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.

The information in this report covers the current age and sex structure of both the resident and total New Zealand population, as well as using historical series to place these populations into perspective. Age data for selected ethnic groups is also provided. In recognition of changing social norms, tables within this volume also cover both legal and social marital status. This publication also looks at the resident population in 1991 and 1996, and the recent mobility of people between regions, territorial authorities and urban and rural areas.

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 are available.
