What the figure measures
Census usually resident population identifying with Armenian ethnicity, alone or alongside other ethnic groups. Counts use fixed random rounding to protect confidentiality; this is not citizenship.

Data limitation: Up to 2,000 is an undated upper bound, not a measured current total. The 2023 census records 315 Armenian ethnicity responses in its usually resident population. Census and community scope differ; do not add them.

Directory sources checked:

This is a selected guide, not a complete inventory or a ranking of influence. A direct source documents what an institution publishes about itself; it does not independently verify every claim or establish uninterrupted operation. Directory listings and historical records carry their stated limits. Dates identify the publication, documented activity or report reference period, as described in the entry. Missing source dates are shown explicitly. Inclusion does not imply partnership or endorsement.

New Zealand: How to read the figures

A census count, an ancestry response and a community estimate measure different populations. Dates and definitions remain attached to each figure. The covered-country sum uses selected reference values, range midpoints and stated boundaries for “more than” or “up to”; it is not a synchronized population count or a statistical confidence interval. Undated and historical estimates are not current resident counts. The independently published worldwide estimate must not be added to the country sum.
