The standard output variable categories are the same as the classification categories. The residual categories may be output separately or combined. Where a combination item of residuals is to be used in output, this item should be labelled ‘not elsewhere included’ and should have a footnote indicating its composition.
The residual categories are defined in Glossary and references.
The full classification is available in the 'Available Files' section on the main page.
In statistical publications the term ‘Māori’ should be used, rather than ‘New Zealand Māori’, in deference to the wishes of the tangata whenua.
