General notes
The Kelston electorate comprises an area in west Auckland and includes the suburbs of Avondale, McLaren Park, Glen Eden, Sunnyvale, Glendene, Kelston, Rosebank and Waterview. Its northern boundary is the Northwestern Motorway (SH16) and it is bordered by the electorates of Te Atatū, New Lynn and Mt Albert. Kelston was first formed in 2014. It took in part of the old Waitakere electorate and also population from Te Atatū, New Lynn and Mt Albert electorates. The Waitakere seat was abolished at this time. There were no changes to Kelston’s boundaries in the 2020 boundary review. The Kelston electorate has been represented since 2014 by Carmel Sepuloni (Labour). Sepuloni has been the Minister for Social Development since October 2017.The ethnic profile of the Kelston electorate shows that less than half (47.8%) of the electorate identifies as European, compared to 70.2% in New Zealand as a whole, while over one-quarter (26.8%) identifies as Asian (15.1% for New Zealand as a whole). Almost one-quarter (24.5%) of the electorate identifies as Pacific Peoples, the fourth-highest among general electorates and three times the New Zealand average (8.2%). Samoan is spoken by nearly one in ten people (8.1%), four times the national average (2.2%).Nearly one-quarter (23.6%) of families are one parent families, and over one-quarter (25.9%) of households stated that their house is sometimes damp – both the fourth-highest shares among general electorates. The most prevalent occupations of those employed were professionals (23.2%), managers (14.1%), technicians and trades workers (13.6%), clerical and administrative workers (11.6%), and sales workers (10.8%). Over half (57.5%) of households reported household income of $70,000 or more, somewhat higher than the proportion across New Zealand as a whole (53.0%).

HousingThis section provides a range of information from the 2018 Census about homes and families in the electorate. It also has information about residential building consents issued.The census distinguishes between dwellings, households, and families. A dwelling refers to the physical structure. A household is either one person who usually lives alone, or two or more people who usually live together. A family comprises a couple with or without children or one parent and their children.There are two tables describing homeownership. They differ in measuring ownership at the individual or the household level. A household may own their dwelling but not all people within that household share in the ownership.
