Today, the population of Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau is diverse and dynamic. They comprise nearly 12 per cent of Auckland's population, and number around 180,000 people, which made up of 24 per cent of Māori population in Aotearoa. Over half are under 25 years and nearly a third under 15 years.

The strengths and contributions Māori bring to Auckland will fuel growth and advance Māori social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing.
