NZ’s first census LGBTIQ data
0
Stats NZ has reported the data from the census on sexual orientation and gender identity. It is very useful to have accurate population counts.
Gender
- (Cis) Female 51.6%
- (Cis) Male 47.7%
- Trans female 0.16%
- Trans male 0.14%
- Trans other (presumably non-binary) 0.44%
So around 0.3% of the adult population have a different gender identity to their biological sex and a further 0.44% say they are non-binary. So that is around 1 in 333 are trans and 1 in 227 non-binary.
However around 560,000 adults did not answer this question. If you include those people, then we have 0.26% are trans and 0.38% non-binary.
Sexual Orientation
- Heterosexual 95.5%
- Bisexual 2.45%
- Homosexual 1.49%
- Other 0.59%
So around 19/20 are heterosexual, 1 in 40 bisexual and 1 in 67 gay/lesbian.
Intersex
- Not intersexual 97.9%
- Intersexual 0.45%
- Unsure 1.66%
This is around 1 in 222 who are intersexual.
