Hingaia

During the major reformation of local government in 1989, Hingaia was included into the Papakura District boundaries. In 2010, after a review of the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance, the entire Auckland Region was amalgamated into a single city authority. As well as the former Papakura District, all other territorial authorities were merged into a single Auckland Council. The suburb of Hingaia is part of the Manurewa-Papakura ward.

Hingaia, comprising the statistical areas of Hingaia and Karaka Lakes, had a population of 4,368 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 2,706 people (162.8%) since the 2013 census, and an increase of 3,726 people (580.4%) since the 2006 census.
