Components of Change by Component Flow Northland’s Movers and Stayers Using New Zealand’s first ‘demographic accounting This leaves an unaccounted for component of migration, Data from the 2013 Census indicate that almost 67 per 2013 Census show marked similarity to the main regions model’ (Jackson & Pawar 2013), the broad components of which we call the ‘residual’ component (+3,208 people cent of those enumerated as living in the Northland Region of origin of Northland’s arrivals, the single-largest Northland’s population change can be broken down into enumerated as moving to the region between 2008 and on census night 2013 (March 5th) had been living there in proportion of leavers having gone to Auckland (6.0 per their underlying flows. Figure 3 shows that between 2008 2013, but some of their 2008 origin is unknown). The 2008, almost identical to the proportion at each of the cent), followed by Waikato (2.0 per cent), and 2013, the Northland Region grew by approximately model further disaggregates each known net migration previous three censuses. At the 2013 Census, those who (0.9 per cent) and Wellington (0.7 per cent). Perhaps the 4,000 persons. Natural increase (births minus deaths) component into its respective inflows and outflows had been living elsewhere in New Zealand but not further most interesting point is that the patterns have been accounted for 4,748 persons, slightly reduced by an (14,841 internal immigrants and 14,523 internal estimated net migration loss of 748 persons. The emigrants; 7,326 PLT international immigrants and 11,600 defined in 2008 accounted for the single largest remarkably consistent over the past four censuses, the natural increase component was in turn comprised of PLT international emigrants). The overall picture is one of component of arrivals (7.8 per cent), followed by those regions of origin and destination of internal migrants 11,371 births partially offset by 6,623 deaths. From considerable ‘churn’, generated by large numbers of who had not been born in 2008 (7.0 per cent). The next remaining almost identical over time, with Auckland estimated net migration we then account for ‘known’ net leavers and arrivals relative to the net outcome. Data for largest contingent were internal migrants from the consistently the main region of both origin and migration (-3,956), comprised of net internal migration the 1996-2001 and 2001-2006 periods are available from (5.8 per cent), followed by those who did destination, Waikato second, and the Bay of Plenty third, (+318) and net international permanent/long term (PLT) the full Report (Jackson 2014). not state where they had been living in 2008 (4.6 per with the sole exception of the period 1991-1996 when migration (-4,274). cent), and those who had been overseas in 2008 (3.9 per Wellington fractionally out-performed the Bay of Plenty as Figure 3: Components flows—Northland Region 2008-2013 Between 2008 and 2013, cent).
