1. Includes all of the people who stated each ethnic group, whether as their only ethnic group or as one of several ethnic groups. Where a person reported more than one ethnic group, they have been counted in each applicable group.
2. The ethnicity data in this table for 1991 and 1996 has been output using up to three responses. The ethnicity data in this table for 2001 and 2006 data has been output using up to six responses.
3. Middle Eastern, Latin American and African was introduced as a new category for the 2006 Census. Previously Middle Eastern, Latin American and African responses were allocated to the Other ethnicity category.
4. 'Other Ethnicity' includes responses for a number of small ethnic groups and for 'New Zealander'. For 2006, New Zealander responses made the largest contribution towards the Other Ethnicity category. For 2001, and previous censuses, New Zealander was counted in the 'European' category. Note: This data has been randomly rounded to protect confidentiality. Individual figures may not add up to totals, and values for the same data may vary in different text, tables and graphs.
