Administrative Districts

[edit]

Parigi Moutong Regency was divided at 2010 into twenty districts (kecamatan), but three additional districts were subsequently added. The districts are all tabulated below in geographical order, stretching clockwise around the Gulf of Tomini, with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The districts are grouped for convenience into three geographical sectors, which have no administrative significance. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages in each district (a total of 278 rural desa and 5 urban kelurahan, the latter all being in Parigi District), and its post code.
