Our largest city is also our most diverse.
> Auckland is one of the world's most culturally diverse cities with the fourth most foreign-born population, an international study has found.
> With 39 per cent of its population born overseas, the city is revealed to be more diverse than Sydney, Los Angeles, London and even New York.

- rahimnathwani 7y agoIt's hard to define a good measure of diversity. Thankfully statisticians provide some options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_index For some reason, the article you linked made up their own (very poor) measure of diversity. Imagine a city that's half white locals, and half white British immigrants (temporary or permanent). Would you consider such a city as diverse? The measure in that news article would put this city as being 50% diverse, even higher than Wellington's 39%.
