Population
Auckland has a population of 1.4 million, which is about one third of New Zealand's entire populace.
It is a multicultural city with a mix of European, South Pacific and Asian cultures all living together making Auckland an amazing place to live and work. If living beside water appeals to you, Auckland has it all. It is one of the few places in the world to have two major harbours in two different bodies of water. Manukau Harbour is on the Tasman Sea while the Waitemata Harbour is on the Pacific Ocean, with dramatic bridges crossing these amazing natural harbours. Not far away from the centre of Auckland is a volcanic field, with around 50 volcanoes having left their mark on the spectacular landscape in the form of cones, lakes, lagoons and islands.
This region has a warm and temperate climate and boasts over 2000 hours of sunshine every year, making it one of the sunniest regions in New Zealand. Auckland is half urban and half marine, a cosmopolitan experience wrapped up in a fascinating water world that's dotted with over 50 islands. Auckland's amazing geography and warm, humid climate have inspired a lifestyle that's regularly ranked in the world's top ten. In just half an hour you can be almost anywhere: sailing to an island, trekking through a rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or wandering a wild, black sand surf beach. Auckland is a sophisticated multi-cultural experience, with a great lifestyle, restaurants and bars. It’s also a shopper’s paradise along with theatre, art and culture and fashion. This is a city where you will find originality and flair everywhere you look. Local theatre and live music gigs provide an opportunity to discover the creative side of New Zealand culture.
