2023 Census shows 1 in 20 adults belong to Aotearoa New Zealand’s LGBTIQ+ population (corrected) – On Thursday, 3 October 2024, Stats NZ published the second release of 2023 Census data, which included a news story about our LGBTIQ+ population.
We have republished this news story to correct an error in the reporting of the LGBTIQ+ population by territorial authorities. Previously percentages were reported as proportions of New Zealand’s total LGBTIQ+ population rather than proportions of each territorial authority’s population.
For example, it was previously reported that 11.3 percent of New Zealand’s LGBTIQ+ population lived in Wellington city. This has been corrected to state that 11.3 percent of Wellington city’s adult population were LGBTIQ+.
