According to allcitypopulation, New Zealand is a small island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It has a population of 4.79 million people, making it the 53rd most populous country in the world. The majority of New Zealand’s population is of European ancestry, with around 74% identifying as such. Maori are the second largest ethnic group, making up 15% of the population. Additionally, there are substantial numbers of Pacific Islanders, Asians and other people from various backgrounds who make up 11% of the population. The majority of New Zealanders live in urban areas and cities such as Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch according to Statistics New Zealand Census 2018 data. These cities are known for their diverse communities and vibrant culture which attracts many immigrants from all over the world. In addition to these major cities, there are also many small towns and rural areas throughout New Zealand which provide a quieter lifestyle for those looking for a more relaxed environment. New Zealand has an aging population with people aged 65+ making up 17% according to Statistics New Zealand Census 2018 data. This is due to both lower fertility rates as well as increased life expectancy over recent years due to improved healthcare services available throughout the country. Despite this aging population there is still a strong youth presence with around one quarter of all residents aged under 20 years old according to Statistics New Zealand Census 2018 data.
