Arrivals and Departures in 1900.
Registrar-General’s Office, Wellington, 21st January, 1901.
TABLES showing arrivals in and departures from the colony during the year 1900 are published for general information, with comparisons for the periods 1892 and onwards.
The number of persons who arrived in New Zealand last year (18,074) was slightly less than the number for 1899 (18,506), and similarly the departures for 1900, which numbered 16,243, were not quite equal to those for 1899, which amounted to 16,619.
The excess of arrivals over departures was 1,831 for last year, against 1,887 in the previous twelve months. But these figures include 215 men of the Contingents sent to South Africa in 1899 and 1,582 more who took their departure in the first quarter of the year 1900, which qualify the above comparisons, so that it is desirable to state the numbers exclusive of these troops.
DEPARTURES IN 1899 AND 1900, EXCLUDING THE CONTINGENTS FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
| Year. | Total Departures. | Contingents. | Departures excluding Contingents. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1899 | 16,619 | 215 | 16,404 |
| 1900 | 16,243 | 1,582 | 14,661 |

| Year 1899 | .. | .. | 2,102 |
| Year 1900 | .. | .. | 3,413 |
Omitting the special element in the departures, consisting of the military who left for war purposes only, it will be seen that the results for 1900 are still more satisfactory than those for 1899, the gain for the later year exceeding the other by 1,311 persons.
The comparative tables show that the colony has drawn to itself, in each of the years 1892 to 1900, more population than it has parted with, notwithstanding the attractions of Australian and other goldfields, &c.
The figures under the heading “United Kingdom” for 1900 indicate an excess of 1,060 arrivals over the departures, and those for Australia an excess of 2,173.
Of 18,074 persons who arrived last year, only 1,871 were children—i.e., under twelve years of age; and of 16,243 departures the children numbered 1,302. Of the arrivals 10·35 per cent. are therefore found to be children, and of the departures 8·01 per cent.
