Te Whata, a Māori-designed data platform, reports a 46% average increase in iwi populations in New Zealand over the past decade, based on census data. This improvement in accuracy stems from enhanced data sources and response rates. Ngāpuhi is the largest iwi with 184,470 members. The data also reveals a youthful demographic, with 46.5% under 25. The release reflects a partnership between Stats NZ and the Data Iwi Leaders Group, promoting Māori representation.
