Ethnic groups

The figures below add up to more than the total number of people responding because New Zealand census allowed citizens to specify multiple ethnic identities. The ethnicity question and coding procedures have changed between each of these censuses, meaning that comparisons over time are not straightforward.

The decrease in European population is due to the amount of people who stated they were "New Zealanders" instead of European. These maps show the percentage of people identifying as Maori (13.0%), Asians (8.1%), or Pacific Islanders (6.0%) in the 2006 census. Darker colours indicate a higher percentage. 73% of New Zealand's population is of unmixed European descent.

Religions (2001 Census)

Main article: Religion in New Zealand

The influence of Scottish settlers is reflected in the dominance of Presbyterianism in the Deep South.

The following figures are from the 2001 Census. The census figures for Christian denominations differ widely from the membership claimed by the churches, which is, in most cases, considerably lower; i.e. some may claim to be part of a given denomination but may not be a practicing follower. Many New Zealanders have a nominal preference for a particular denomination, but no meaningful relationship with it.

It should also be noted that the religious question is the only optional question in the New Zealand census. Some religious groups (e.g., the Exclusive Brethren - not to be confused with the Brethren in this census) instruct their followers not to answer this question; others, both Christian and non-Christian, choose not to answer this question for various reasons.

The following information is a direct citation from Statistics New Zealand

Statistics on religion record New Zealanders' religious affiliations.

More than half the population affiliate with a Christian religion (2,079,017), of which Anglican (584,793 or 17% of people), Catholic (486,012 or 14%) and Presbyterian (417,453 or 11%) are the largest denominations.

The largest non-Christian religions are Buddhist, Hindu, Islam/Muslim, and Spiritualism and New Age religions.

The number of people who choose not to record a religious affiliation is also counted.

According to Statistics New Zealand (Results of 2001 Census) 3,442,020 participated in answering the Religion portion of the 2001 census:

Christian: 2,079,017 or 57%

Protestant:

Anglican: 580,641

Presbyterian: 428,754

Methodist: 119,790

Pentecostal: 66,885

Baptist: 51,168

Latter-day Saints: 39,636

General Protestant: 119,790

Roman Catholic: 482,190

Christian NFD: 190,164

Mori Christianity: (denominations not started by Western missions or agencies)

Ratana: 48,543

Ringatu: 15,102

Other: 645

Hindu: 39,627

Islam: 23,202

Jewish: 6,516

Other Religions: 18,486

Data also collected in the Census

Changes since previous censuses:

There has been an increase in people whose religion is non-Christian:

Hinduism increased 56% since the 1996 Census.

Buddhism increased 48% since the 1996 Census.

Islam increased 74% since the 1996 Census.

Spiritualism increased 64% since the 1996 Census.

The number of Roman Catholics increased by 12,900 between 1996 and 2001, while the two other largest denominations incurred decreases; Anglicans (-46,971) and Presbyterians (-38,895).

The count of Anglicans exceeded that of the other denominations in all regions except Auckland (where Catholics were the largest denomination) and Otago and Southland (where the Presbyterian group was the largest).

The main denominations in the 1901 Census were Church of England/Anglican (41% of people), Presbyterian (23%), Catholic (14%), and Methodist (11%).

At the 1901 Census only 1 in 30 people did not give a religious affiliation. This number has greatly increased in 100 years - almost 4 out of 10 people did not specify a religious affiliation in the 2001 Census.

Languages (2006 Census)
