The median weekly income for Maori is rising faster than non-Maori, but they are still significantly behind.
Statistics New Zealand's latest quarter income survey found the median income from all sources for Maori rose 3.4 percent to $475.
The equivalent non-Maori increase was 2.7 percent, bringing median weekly income up to $575.
The median income for those in work was more than $800, with Aucklanders getting the most at $863.
