The nineteen districts are detailed below with their areas and populations at the 2010 Census^[2] and the 2020 Census,^[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2022.^[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 215 rural desa and 5 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
