The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 66

Statistics

Statistics.

The Colony of New Zealand was founded in 1839. Since that period the census has been taken nine times. While seven years elapsed between the first and second census, the succeeding enumerations were taken at intervals of about three years.

As the next census will be taken on the 28th March, 1886, it has not been deemed advisable to incur the expense of printing the detailed tables of the results of the 1881 census in this edition. On the 3rd April, 1881, the population of the colony amounted to 489,933 persons, of whom 269,605 were males and 220,328 females. The total population in 1871 amounted to 266,986 persons, the increase since then having been 83.51 per cent. In the above number the military and their families have not been included as they did not constitute a portion of the settled population of the colony, and have now been all removed.
