This report provides a socio-demographic profile of those persons who responded as 'New Zealander' to the 2006 Census of Population and Dwellings ethnicity question.

The profile goes some way to answering the question of who made these responses, by highlighting similarities and differences with the total population and other ethnic groupings and it aims to provide an understanding of those responding as New Zealander.

New Zealander responses to the ethnicity question have been growing each census and were expected to increase again in the 2006 Census.
