In the s and s a combination of people moving to new outer suburbs, Auckland City Council policy of "slum" clearances and the construction of the motorway through Freemans Bay , led to plummeting rents and a drastic downturn in the economic fortunes of the area directly west of the CBD. The s and s saw many Pacific Islanders arriving in the country and they tended to take up residence in low cost areas - Ponsonby was one of them.
By the s, the combination of artists, bohemians, gays and lesbians, and Polynesian migrant workers, [1] attracted by the low rents created a distinct culture in the area, with which the area is still largely identified in the popular imagination of Auckland. However, beginning in the s a process of gentrification and ethnic transition took place in the area.
This was reflective of patterns in other Western cities, but here it dramatically altered the suburb by the lates, as the apparent predominant population of Polynesians was replaced by Pakeha as described in the Ian Middleton novel Mr Ponsonby. By the early s, Ponsonby became widely perceived as a spatial centre of Auckland's so-called creative class. Upper Middle Class Professionals, usually working in the better-paid professions, as well as the culture industry became an obvious if not dominant presence in the area. This also reintroduced many more children into the area; the local schools, which through the s and s had had shrinking roles now started growing in size and the children attending them were now predominantly white rather than brown.
The retail shops changed in character as well. By the late s these had been largely replaced with flash bars, restaurants, 'gorgeous things' shops, dress boutiques and upmarket hairdressers.

A survey by the NZ AIDS Foundation has however found that the stereotype seems to be true, and that the area and the directly adjacent suburbs have a in comparison very high percentage of gay people, possibly attracted by the fact that they feel more at ease in an environment where gay people are relatively commonplace.
