Arrivals and Departures in 1904.
Registrar-General’s Office, Wellington, 16th January, 1905.
TABLES showing the numbers of arrivals in and departures from New Zealand during the year 1904, with totals for the previous nine years by way of comparison, are published for general information.
The arrivals in the colony last year (32,632) exceeded the number recorded in 1903 (30,883), and the departures during 1904, which numbered 22,277, were also greater than those in the previous year—viz., 19,608.
The excess of arrivals over departures last year was 10,355, against 11,275 in 1903.
The comparative tables show that the colony has drawn to itself in each of the ten years 1895 to 1904 more population than it has parted with.
The figures under the heading “United Kingdom” for 1904 show an excess of 2,720 arrivals over the departures, and from Australian States there is an excess of 7,770, but for other countries a loss of 135.
Of the 32,632 persons who came to New Zealand last year, 3,506, or 10·74 per cent. of the total, were children—i.e., under twelve years of age; and of the 22,277 departures the children numbered 1,567, or 7·03 per cent.
