How to read this ranking
Use top nz suburbs by pacific peoples population to find concentration, not overall quality.
BEST FOR
Spotting where an ethnic community is most concentrated.
This list works best when you want to understand where a particular ethnic group has the largest visible footprint.
READ IT AS
A multi-response count first, not a recommendation.
Stats NZ ethnicity is multi-response, so a suburb’s shares can sum above 100%. High counts reflect scale and concentration, not affordability, schools, safety, or investment quality.
NEXT STEP
Open the suburb pages before making a decision.
Use the ranking to find candidate suburbs, then confirm rent levels, incomes, schools, transport, and deprivation context on the suburb pages.
AVAILABLE evidence
Census concentration signal
This ranking is backed by demographic counts. It is good for finding clusters, not for deciding suburb quality alone.
CLUSTER SCREEN
This ranking finds concentration, not suburb quality.
Use top rows as research leads, then test affordability, services, and evidence depth before shortlisting.
Shortlist flow
Use #1 Harania North and #2 Ōtara East as the first compare pair.
Rankings are strongest when they hand you a shortlist quickly. Compare the top two first, then open suburb detail if the head-to-head result still feels narrow.

FAQ
About this Pacific Peoples ranking.
-
How is this Pacific Peoples ranking built?
It ranks New Zealand suburbs (Stats NZ SA2 areas) by the number of residents identifying with Pacific Peoples ethnicity in the 2023 Census, ordered by count. Each row also shows the figure as a share of the suburb population.
-
Why can the ethnicity shares add up to more than 100%?
Stats NZ ethnicity is multi-response — a person can identify with more than one ethnicity — so the combined shares for a suburb can exceed 100%. The count still reflects how many people identified with this group.
-
Does a high ranking mean a suburb is a good place to buy?
No. This is a demographic concentration screen, not a property recommendation. Use it to find where a community is largest, then open the suburb page to weigh rent, income, schools, transport, and deprivation context.
-
What is the next step after this ranking?
Open a suburb detail page for a fuller read, save candidates to the shortlist, or compare two suburbs once you have a realistic pair.
