Arrivals and Departures in 1902.
Registrar-General’s Office, Wellington, 24th January, 1903.
TABLES showing the numbers of arrivals in and departures from New Zealand during the year 1902, with totals for the previous nine years by way of comparison, are published for general information.
The arrivals in the colony last year (30,293) greatly exceeded the number recorded in 1901 (25,086), and similarly the departures during 1902, which numbered 22,301, were more than those in the previous year—viz., 18,564.
The excess of arrivals over departures last year was 7,992, against 6,522 in 1901.
The comparative tables show that the colony has drawn to itself in each of the ten years 1893 to 1902 more population than it has parted with—a sure indication of prosperity.
The figures under the heading “United Kingdom” for 1902 show an excess of 1,977 arrivals over the departures, and for Australia there is an excess of 6,856, but for other countries a loss of 841.
Of the 30,293 persons who came to New Zealand last year, 2,858, or 9·43 per cent. of the total, were children—i.e., under twelve years of age; and of the 22,301 departures the children numbered 1,580, or 7·08 per cent.
