Less than 19 kilometres separates the centres of Hastings City and Napier, and as such the two are regarded as the "twin cities". In local government terms, however, the two are considerably different. While Napier has a City Council, Hastings City's council lost its city status in 1989 when it was amalgamated with Havelock North, Flaxmere and a rural hinterland to form the Hastings City District. This has left Hastings with the larger population of the two centres, with a 2001 population of 73,428.

Hastings City, since the merger of the surrounding and satellite settlements, has grown to become the largest city in Hawke's Bay. Now the Hawke's Bay center of commerce, industry and trade, as shown by the small but growing skyline of multi-story buildings. Hastings is growing rapidly with the help of the smart and tidy gridiron city planning system, centered on the railway line which runs through the town's centre, and Heretaunga Street, which runs from Norton Road on the outskirts of the city, to Stortford Lodge at the other end, which changes into Omahu Road and continues to the rural outskirst of the city. The railway runs right through the city's symbolic fountain at its centre.

Many Hastings residents work in the city, and the area is populated by middle-to-upper income families in some suburbs and areas, and then middle-to-lower income families in other areas, especially towards Camberley and Flaxmere which are locally known to be less well-off than areas such as Havelock North. Hastings is a city with huge potential and a prosperous future.
