The northern boundary is defined by the southern shore of the Manukau Harbour in the west, and Waiheke Island and the Coromandel Peninsula in the east. The eastern border extends south as far as Waihi Beach, skirts Katikati, and then follows the Kaimai Ranges down toward Matamata. The southern boundary travels west toward Karapiro, proceeds to the south of Te Awamutu, then emerges south of Kawhia on the west coast. The main urban centres and towns within the electorate include Hamilton, Huntly, Ngaruawahia, Pukekohe, Papakura, Matamata, Cambridge, Thames, Whitianga, Te Awamutu, Raglan, and Kawhia. There were no boundary changes for 2014. Between Census 2006 and Census 2013 the Hauraki-Waikato electorate experienced 9.9% population growth, almost double the New Zealand average (5.3%), and the highest rate of growth among the seven Māori electorates. In 2013 the median age of the Māori descent population in Hauraki-Waikato was 23, the lowest- equal median of any Māori electorate, and below the New Zealand median age of 37. Of the Māori descent population aged 15 years and over, 10.8% were unemployed in 2013, up from 7.7% in 2006, and more than double the 2013 figure for the New Zealand population overall (4.5%). The single biggest occupation of those employed in the electorate in 2013 was labourers (16.0%), followed by professionals (15.0%), managers (13.8%), clerical and administrative workers (11.0%), and technicians and trades workers (10.8%).
