Between 2013 and 2023, the population of Tauranga grew by 32.73%!
The city’s annual average growth rate, between 2.1% - 2.3%, is above the national average, which is 1.3%. So we definitely have some new faces coming in.
This is reflected in our residents at Basestation, a good handful of them have moved to the area in the last five years. Some are originally from the region, but have returned from an extended overseas venture, or they have young families and chosen to be closer to extended family. Others have just moved out of the rat race from other bigger cities and are looking for more work/life balance.
