NZ more ethnically diverse: census

NEWLY-RELEASED New Zealand census figures show the country is more ethnically diverse than ever before, with more than 200 ethnic groups represented.

The five largest ethnic groups were New Zealand European, Maori, Chinese, Samoan and Indian.
The smallest ethnic groups - with just three people each - included Corsicans, Greenlanders, Sardinians, Atiu Islanders, Mauke Islanders, Gambier Islanders, Marquesas Islanders, Tuamota Islanders and Malvinians.
The ethnic groups with some of the biggest increases since the last census in 2006 were Chinese, Indian and Filipino.
However, almost 225,000 people didn't state their ethnicity on their census form, while more than 2700 people had a response that was "outside scope".
The responses of nearly 3500 people were "unidentifiable" and 81 people refused to answer the question.
