Classification path for Maori
ASCCEG places Maori within the narrow group New Zealand Peoples. This path preserves the official relationship between the broad ancestry category and the final detailed group code.
| ASCCEG level | Code | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Broad group | 1 | Oceanian |
| Narrow group | 12 | New Zealand Peoples |
| Detailed group | 1201 | Maori |
When to use the detailed group
Use 1201 only when the source response supports the specific label Maori. If the response identifies only New Zealand Peoples, review the full set of detailed groups in that narrow group and do not infer a more specific identity.

About this detailed group code
Detailed group pages are the end point of the main ASCCEG hierarchy. They are used when the cultural or ethnic label has been identified precisely enough for final coding.
If the source response is still broad or ambiguous, step back to the narrow group or broad group pages before settling on the final code.
