Brain teaser

Here is an interesting coincidence I just came across.

Two numbers from the last Census

251,688

251,130

They represent two distinct groups of New Zealand residents by birthplace.

Any ideas?

How many Australians?
I'm one, but I don't run into that many that have moved here permanently.
