The districts are detailed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census[2] and the 2020 census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2024.[1] The table includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages in each district (a total of 142 rural desa and a single urban kelurahan - the latter being the town of Taba Penanjung in the district of the same name), and its post code.
