Population data with a breakdown for ethnicity for each Health Area, based on census data, is publicly available on the Stats NZ Aotearoa Data explorer website through this table - Aotearoa Data Explorer • Ethnicity (detailed total responses level 3), age, and gender for the census usually resident population count, (RC, TALB, SA2, Health), 2013, 2018, and 2023 Censuses. This table highlights the total populations in each area for 2013, 2018 and 2023. This page includes a list of filters on the left that allow you to select each Health Area and ethnic category, and you can export the data. Should you have any questions about how to access or interpret this data, or have questions about what other population data is available, you can contact the Stats NZ Information centre in the following ways:  • By phone – 0508 525 525   • By email – info@stats.govt.nz   • Online form.
