TABLE 6.2

The Clustered Segment of the Population at Successive Censuses, 1874–1901

Notes

1. The data are for non-Maoris as enumerated by each Census. Percentages rounded off to nearest whole number.

2. Borough population is that enumerated by the Census except in 1874 where it is designated as ‘Cities and Towns’.

3. Town districts. Populations as specified by the Census. For 1886 Devonport has been taken out of this category and placed in the suburban.

4. Suburban population is that residing outside boroughs where the Census indicates a suburb exists. In 1874 it takes in the electoral districts of Parnell and Newton, the portions of Christchurch East and West outside the town belt, and portions of the suburbs of Nelson electoral district; the Dunedin component has been defined by the author as the road districts of N.E. Valley, Roslyn, Mornington, Caversham, Green Island, Waikari, Kaikorai, Half-way Bush. For 1878 the area takes in the road districts for Auckland and Christchurch specified by the Census (p. 13) as suburban; and the ridings of N.E. Valley, Waikari, Kaikorai for Dunedin. For 1881 and subsequent Censuses the suburban component is the non-borough and non-town district population specified by the Registrar-General.

5. Townships, villages, small centres, etc The Censuses of 1878 and 1881 define these as towns situated in road districts; that of 1886 as ‘villages, the population being classed rather as rural than urban. The majority … have been laid off for future occupation by a more truly town population’; that of 1891 as small centres of population and settlement, but, having no recognised boundaries, more or less of the country has been included by Sub-Enumerators according to their judgement and without check’; that of 1896 and 1901 as ‘places of the nature of townships, villages, or small centres without boundaries … more or less of surrounding country may have been considered as belonging to the centre, but there is at least at each place mentioned some sort of nucleus of population…’. It is likely that there has been some double counting of this and the informal suburban category.
