The Māori population in Aotearoa has grown slightly to 904,100, the latest Stats NZ data shows.
The figure - a provisional estimate as of December 2023 - was a 1.5 per cent increase on the December 2022 figure.
Stats NZ said the Māori population grew by 12,900, of which 12,600was a natural increase (births minus deaths).
The remaining 300 was due to migration and inter-ethnic mobility - those changing their ethnic identification to include Māori.
Of the 904,100, there were slightly more wāhine Māori, with 453,800 wāhine to 450,300 tānē.
