Our startingpoint...To help us track progress over the years tocome, it is important that we know wherewe are right now. This snapshot of theWaikato District today provides an insightto the make-up of the district and thepeople that live in it.The Waikato District Council covers an areaof 3,450 sq km. The district encompassesa diverse area. It borders with HamiltonCity to the south, extends to the WestCoast, includes the plains to the Eastand stretches north of Meremere. It hasa large rural population, many smallcommunities and our three main towns ofHuntly, Ngaruawahia and Raglan. BothState Highway No 1 and the Waikato Rivertraverse the full length of the district fromSouth to North along its central axis. Theregion’s primary industry is dairy farmingwith high quality soils located in thecentral and eastern parts of the district.The topography changes towards the WestCoast, becoming more mountainous, wheredry stock and forestry farming is moreprevalent.PopulationThe population of the Waikato Districtwas 39,855 in 2001, when the lastCensus was undertaken. However theestimated population at June 2006 isapproximately 43,000.The Waikato District has a lowermedian age of people at 33.7years,lower than that of New Zealand as awhole where it is 34.8 years. This is arefl ection of the fact that the districthas a smaller number of people over 65(9.8%) and a larger number of peopleunder 15 (26.9%) than the average.While this currently means that thereis a greater need for services andfacilities for the younger members ofour community, there are long-termimplications as the demand for servicesfor those above 65 will increase infuture years.EthnicityEthnically the Waikato district haslow numbers of Pacifi c Island (2.1%)and Asian people (2.1%), but a muchlarger than average proportion ofMaori (27.1%), with 78.3% consideringthemselves European (ethnicity isself-perceived and people can belongto more than one ethnic group).Our urban wards have much higherpercentages of Maori than our ruralwards.With 35.3% of people aged 15 and overhaving no formal qualifi cations, andonly 28.5% of people having a tertiaryqualifi cation, education is one area thatneeds to be addressed.10THE ROAD AHEAD - LONG-TERM COUNCIL COMMUNITY PLAN 2006-2016
A journey of a thousand milesmust begin with a single step...- Chinese ProverbIncomeThe district as a whole has a lower thanthe national median level of income,at $18,300, though the diversity of thedistrict shows differing results whencomparing the rural wards with urbanwards. For example the Tamahere Wardhas 41.9% earning over $30,000, andEureka 39.5% earning over $30,000,while Ngaruawahia has only 21.2%,Raglan 21.7% and Huntly with only18.8% earning over $30,000.A high number of people (20.9%)received their income from theagricultural and fi shery industry,refl ective of the district’s rural nature.Property OwnershipThere are high levels of homeownership in the Waikato District with71.1% of permanent residents owningtheir own property.
