Iwi profiles are statistical reports about individual, and groups of, iwi based on the Maori descent population. They use information from the Census of Population and Dwellings, and look at the social and economic positions of iwi.
The topics covered include population, language, education, religion, households and families, labour force, unpaid activities, income, housing, motor vehicles and telecommunications, number of children born and smoking behaviour.
Iwi profiles were completed for iwi who consented with a population of 1,000 and over.
The same profile was produced for all iwi, a change from 2001 and 1996 when limited profiles were produced for iwi with a population of between 1,000 and 5,000. There was also no inside/outside of the iwi takiwā comparison in the 2006 profiles.
The other topics covered have largely remained the same as in previous years, with the addition in 2006 of the cyclical topics of smoking and number of children born.
The iwi profiles are now available on request from Statistics New Zealand (or directly through the iwi).
A list of iwi who have consented (as at 13/03/2008) and have profiles available on request is attached in pdf format.
