Quote:
The proportion of Auckland region's population identifying with an Asian ethnicity is projected to increase from 20 percent in 2006 to 27 percent in 2021, and the proportion identifying with a Pacific ethnicity from 15 percent to 17 percent.
Over the same period, the proportion identifying with a 'European or Other' ethnicity in Auckland region is projected to drop from 62 percent to 53 percent.
