Tauwhare

Tauwhare is a small rural community in the Waikato District on the outskirts of Hamilton.[3] The 1902 Cyclopedia of New Zealand noted that Tauwhare had a scattered population, a school, a cheese factory (owned by the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company) and could be reached by coach from Tamahere railway station.[4] The 2006 census counted a Tamahere and Tauwhare area of 130 km2 (50 sq mi).[5] These areas had the statistics in the table below, which show people are wealthier and slightly older than the 37.4 years of the national average.[6] In 2018 the main ethnic groups of the area were 89.4% European, 9.5% Māori and 5.3% Asian.
