  1. Papps and Newell (2002) define 140 labour market areas (LMAs) using an algorithm that ensures that most people who live in one LMA work in it, and most people who work in one LMA live in it. We calculate for each LMA–iwi combination the proportion of the total iwi population living in that LMA relative to the proportion of the total European population living in it, based on aggregating the 1996, 2001, and 2006 censuses, and if this proportion exceeds 1.5, the LMA is considered a local LMA for the iwi. Classifications of Māori as living locally or non-locally to their iwi refer to the start of the 5-year period. All individual counts in the tables have been randomly rounded to base 3 for confidentiality reasons
