The ethnic identity of residents in these four Auckland local board areas in 2013 show striking contrasts in the ethnic composition of different parts of the city. Around three-quarters of Devonport-Takapuna residents were European, and there were significant numbers of Asian people, but few Māori and Pacific people. In Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, by contrast, less than a quarter of the residents were of European background, while Pacific people were strongly represented.
Note: Figures sourced from the Statistics New Zealand 2013 Census. Where a person reported more than one ethnic group, they were counted in each applicable group. As a result, percentages do not add up to 100.
