List of ethnic origins of New Zealanders

In the 2006 census of New Zealand 67.6 percent of the population identified ethnically as "New Zealand European" and 14.6 percent as Māori.[1] Other major ethnic groups include Asian (9.2 percent) and Pacific peoples (6.9 percent), while 11.1 percent identified themselves simply as a "New Zealander" (or similar) and 1 percent identified with other ethnicities.[2] When completing the census people could select more than one ethnic group and this list includes all of the stated ethnic groups if more than one is chosen.

During the 2013 census in New Zealand, it was estimated that 14.9% of the population of New Zealand were Maori, 11.8% of the population were Asians (deriving from various nations in Asia), 7.4% were of Pacific Islander origin (including from the Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau, all of which are dependent states of New Zealand in the Pacific), and 1.20% were individuals of Middle-Eastern, Latin American, and African descent. Approximately three-quarters of the population of New Zealand during the census were of European ethnicity. [3]
