Central Sumba Regency (Indonesian : Kabupaten Sumba Tengah) is a regency in East Nusa Tenggara of Indonesia. The new Central Sumba Regency was established on the island of Sumba when West Sumba Regency was split into two regencies on 22 May 2007 and a further Regency was created in Central Sumba from parts of both West Sumba and East Sumba Regencies. [2] The new Regency covers 2,060.54 km2 and had a population of 62,485 at the 2010 Census [3] and 85,482 at the 2020 Census; [4] the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 92,354 (comprising 37,349 males and 4,005 females). [1] The seat (capital) of its government is located at Waibakul.

Administrative Districts

The Central Sumba Regency (following the re-organisation on 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 2024. [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.
