Population growth CMDHB has had the fastest growing population of any DHB with an annual growth rate of 3.2% since 2001, twice the NZ average at 1.6%. An additional 61,000 people became CMDHB residents in the 5 years from 2001 to 2006, representing 20% of all new New Zealand residents (Table 1.4). The fastest growing area was Botany/Clevedon, particular the areas of Botany and Dannemora. An extensive description of the changing demography of CMDHB is given in a recent CMDHB report1. 1 The changing demography of Counties Manukau DHB (January 2008) Table 1.4 CMDHB population growth 1996 to 2006 by area
On average growth in private dwellings in CMDHB has been around 2% per year, rising from 102,900 in 1996 to 130,200 in 2006 (Figure 1.3). The largest growth in the 5 years from 2001 to 2006 has been in Botany/Clevedon with more than 4000 dwellings added, a 54% increase. Franklin (2700, 10%) and Manurewa (2650, 14%) were the next highest. The lowest growth was in Papatoetoe (750, 6%) and Otara (900, 12%).
Maori The Maori (Maaori) population of CMDHB has grown at a similar rate to the overall population, rising from 60.700 to 76,000 people to maintain a 17% proportion of the CMDHB population. This overall growth conceals movement within CMDHB, with Otara and Mangere showing a slight decline in Maaori numbers, and a significant decline in the proportion Maaori, while Manurewa and Papakura showed significant increases. Over a quarter of the populations of Manurewa and Papakura are of Maaori ethnicity. Table 1.5 CMDHB Maori population growth 1996 to 2006 by area
Pacific The Pacific population2 of CMDHB has risen from 58,900 in 1996 to 95,400 in 2006, a significant 62% increase. Pacific have increased from a 16% to a 21% proportion of the CMDHB population. The largest growth has occurred in Manurewa and Mangere. Over a half of the populations of Otara and Mangere are of Pacific origin, together making up 60% of all the Pacific people living in CMDHB, while a quarter of Manurewa and Papatoetoe are Pacific. Table 1.6 CMDHB Pacific population growth 1996 to 2006 by area
2 Based on prioritised ethnicity Asian The Asian population2 of CMDHB has grown at a very fast rate, from 28,100 in 1996 to 73,200 in 2006 – more than doubling. This moved Asian from 8% to 16% of the CMDHB population. The largest growth was in Botany/Clevedon and Howick/Pakuranga (especially Chinese), followed by Papatoetoe and Manurewa (mainly Indian). Nearly a third of the population of Howick/Pakuranga are of Asian ethnicity. Table 1.7 CMDHB Asian population growth 1996 to 2006 by area
2 Based on prioritised ethnicity European and Other The European and Other population of CMDHB has shown minimal growth over the 1996 to 2006 period – only around 1000 extra people. The lack of overall growth conceals significant movements within CMDHB, with Botany/Clevedon and Franklin seeing significant increases. The largest falls were seen in Howick/Pakuranga and Papatoetoe. Franklin with just over ¾ of its population of European/other ethnicity has the highest proportion, followed by Howick/Pakuranga at two-thirds. Otara and Mangere have remarkably low proportions of 15% and 19% respectively. Table 1.8 CMDHB European and Other population growth 1996 to 2006 by area
