Arrivals and Departures in 1907.
Registrar-General’s Office, Wellington, 13th January, 1908.
TABLES showing the numbers of arrivals in and departures from New Zealand during the year 1907, with totals for the previous nine years by way of comparison, are published for general information.
The arrivals in the Dominion last year (36,108) were less than the number recorded in 1906 (39,233), and the departures during 1907, which numbered 30,378, were greater than those in the previous year—viz., 26,885.
The excess of arrivals over departures last year was 5,730, against 12,848 in 1906.
The Exhibition of 1906–7 caused considerably more arrivals in the latter part of the year 1906 than in the corresponding portion of 1907, and the departures in the first four months of 1907 exceeded those in 1906 for the same reason.
More than this, the interchange of people between New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Australia has been more equal during last year than in 1906, as shown above, though New Zealand still gained 1,068 persons after deducting departures to the Continent. The number of departures for other British possessions in 1907 (659) consists mainly of persons who left for British Columbia.
The comparative tables show that the Dominion has drawn to itself in each of the ten years 1898 to 1907 more population than it has parted with.
The figures under the heading “United Kingdom” for 1907 show an excess of 5,003 arrivals over the departures, from Australian States there is an excess of 1,068, and to other countries a loss of 341.
Of the 36,108 persons who came to New Zealand last year, 3,762, or 10·42 per cent. of the total, were children—i.e., under twelve years of age; and of the 30,378 departures the children numbered 2,587, or 8·51 per cent.
