New Zealand had a net migration gain of 73,300 in the June 2024 year, down from the peak of 136,600 in the October 2023 year, Stats NZ says.��

But the net migration loss of New Zealand citizens was at record levels over the period, with more than half of those departing headed for Australia.��

There was a provisional net migration loss of 55,300 New Zealand citizens in the June 2024 year.��

That was below the record set last month, for the year to May, when more than 60,000 citizens departed.��

Before the current high levels, the record annual net migration loss of New Zealand citizens was 44,400 in February 2012 year.��

The net migration loss of New Zealand citizens in the June 2024 year comprised 24,900 migrant arrivals and 80,200 migrant departures.��

For every migrant arrival of a New Zealand citizen, there were more than three migrant departures, Stats NZ said.��

“Despite the recent fall, the net migration gain in the June 2024 year is the third largest net gain ever for a June year,” Stats NZ population indicators manager Tehseen Islam said.��

There was a provisional net migration gain of 128,500 non-New Zealand citizens in the June 2024 year, driven by citizens of India, the Philippines, China and Fiji.��

”Migrant arrivals of non-New Zealand citizens are down from their peak in the October 2023 year, while migrant departures of New Zealand citizens and non-New Zealand citizens are both up,” Islam said.��

“The net gain of non-New Zealand citizens in the June 2024 year was 50,000 lower than the peak of 178,500 in the October 2023 year,” Islam said.��

“This net gain of non-New Zealand citizens still drove the overall net migration gain in the June 2024 year, and more than offset the record net loss of New Zealand citizens.”��

Migrants aged 18 to 30 years accounted for 38% (30,700) of the 80,200 migrant departures of New Zealand citizens in the June 2024 year.��

“Those in their late teens and twenties have traditionally been a driver of annual net migration losses of New Zealand citizens,” Islam said.��

Migrants aged 18 to 44 years made up 66% (118,900) of the 179,600 migrant arrivals of non-New Zealand citizens in the year to June.��

Overall, there was a net migration gain across most age groups in the June 2024 year, including 20,000 across the main school ages (5 to 17 years old).��
