Administrative Districts

edit

The Central Sumba Regency (following the re-organisation of 22 May 2007 which created it out of parts of both West Sumba Regency and East Sumba Regency) was composed of five districts (kecamatan), but a sixth district (Umbu Ratu Nggay Tengah) has since been created by taking 7 villages from Umbu Ratu Nggay District and 3 villages from Umbu Ratu Nggay Barat District. The areas (in km2) and populations of these districts at the 2010 Census[3] and the 2020 Census[4] are listed below, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (all classed as rural desa), and its postal code.
