24/02/10 - NZ population expected to top 5 million by 2031
The latest figures from Statistics New Zealand use the estimated population of each area as at June 2006 as a base, and make predictions through to 2031.
Auckland is projected to account for 60% of the population growth, with an increase to almost 2 million.
This will mean Auckland will be home to 38% of the population by 2031.
The South Island population is predicted to be 1.15 million and 4 million people in the North.
The number of people aged over 65 is expected to double.
