Where do Māori live?

Custom made charts to show where Māori lived at the time of the 2018 Census, because Statistics New Zealand doesn't break it out that way.

On an internet search for 'Māori population distribution by region', I could not find the data presented in the format that I wanted. So I just went through the Census Data 2018 and quickly put together the interactive charts. Maybe the next step is to model other years census data to see the migration patterns/trends or to do a cohort analysis of population distribution and Iwi wealth distribution (I've put a table at the end of this document)?  Anyway, maybe this is useful for you.

2018 Census Māori Population Total: 775,836

Published in Stuff.co.nz here are some Iwi organisations and their asset size. Note that relative size of assets versus population distribution.
