Auckland (Maori name Tamaki Makaurau), is a large metropolis in the North Island of New Zealand. Auckland is the most populous city in the country, and fifth in Oceania. It has a population of approximately 1,463,000 (June 2021). [4] It's located in Auckland Region, which includes outlying rural and islands of the Hauraki Golf. The region has a population total of 1,715,600. Although the majority of Auckland's residents are Europeans, Auckland became multicultural and cosmopolitan during the 20th century. In 2018, 31% of Auckland's total population was Asian. [6] Auckland has the largest ethnic Polynesian community in the world, thanks to its large Pasifika New Zealanders population. [7] Auckland's Maori name is Tamaki Makaurau. This refers to its attractiveness and natural resources. [8]
