Ethnic-Specific Data
The ethnic groupings represented in this report are Māori, New Zealand European, Pacific and Asian. The Other ethnic group includes mainly Middle-Eastern, Latin American and African ethnicities.
To provide a representative picture of ethnic affiliation, participants could report multiple ethnicities. This means that the same person can be represented in different ethnic groups (e.g. Māori and New Zealand European). Consequently, the sum of the ethnic group populations exceeds the total New Zealand population.
Percent estimates for each ethnic group should only be compared with percent estimates for the total population and not between ethnic groups (e.g. comparing Māori and Pacific data).
