Population Figure

To obtain the 2001 population figure I believe I could have searched for the Wellington Statistical Area, although I haven't seen figures for Statistical Areas in a while, they may no longer be produced. Anyway the area of the old Wellington Province is:

all of Wellington Region
all of Wanganui District, Manawatu District, Palmerston North District and Horowhenua District
all of Rangitikei District except Ngamatea area unit
from Taupo District: Rangipo and Te More area units
from Ruapehu District: Ohakune, Raetihi, Waiouru, Raurimu, National Park and Tangiwai area units
from South Taranaki District: Waverley, Waitotara, Makakaho area units
from Tararua District: Pahiatua, Eketahuna, Owahanga, Mangatainoka, Nireaha-Tiraumea area units
Oceanic-Manawatu-Wanganui Region and Oceanic-Tararua Constituency area units (no population)
