In 2006,people identifying as Māori were most likely to have lived somewhere else in <strong>New</strong><strong>Zealand</strong> five years earlier 16 .63 In 2006 on average (using the median 17 ), Māori had lived at their usual residence for2.9 years. When compared with the same measure in 1996 (3.0 years), Māori havebecome slightly more mobile since then.64 Through 1996 to 2006, Māori have consistently lived the shortest average time attheir current residence when compared with European (3.9 years in 1996, 5 years in2001, and 3.8 years in 2006), or Pacific (3.1 years in 1996, 3.1 in 2001, 3.2 in 2006).Figure 3 shows this.16 Statistics <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>. Quick Stats about Population Mobility – 2006 Census, (Feb 2007: 3).17 The median means that half of the population lived longer, and half shorter at their usualresidence than this number.12
