The 2013 New Zealand census was the thirty-third national census. "The National Census Day" used for the census was on Tuesday, 5 March 2013. The population of New Zealand was counted as 4,242,048 – an increase of 214,101 or 5.3% over the 2006 census.
The 2013 census forms were the same as those developed for the 2011 census which was cancelled due to the major February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch. There were no new topics or questions. New Zealand's next census was conducted in March 2018.
