Projected population growth of Hamilton City<br />

2013 - 2063<br />

Overview of Statistics<br />

• The population, due to lifestyle, access to a growing number of jobs plus career opportunities in<br />

both Auckland and Hamilton, is growing faster in the greater Waikato than in many other places in<br />

New Zealand.<br />

• According to population projections from the University of Waikato, population growth in Waikato<br />

district of more than 26% is expected over the next 15 years (from about 69,900 in 2016 to 88,200<br />

in 2031). Regionally, the population is increasing by 1 per cent per year, which is much the same<br />

rate for the whole of New Zealand. It is predicted that the Waikato region’s population will increase<br />

from 258,000 in 2013 to 368,000 in 2063, driven largely by its recognised economic potential.<br />
