Administrative districts

[edit]

Brebes Regency comprises seventeen districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at end 2023.[1] They are grouped for convenience into four geographical regions, which have no administrative significance. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 292 rural desa and 5 urban kelurahan - the latter all in Brebes District), and its post code.

The first six districts in the table below are the most southerly, and are generally highlands, reaching an altitude of 875 metres in Sirampog District, while the remaining eleven districts are more northerly and generally lower-lying, and have a higher population density, reaching over 2,000 persons per km2 in Brebes, Jatibarang and Wanasari Districts (all three in the northeast of the regency and forming part of the Tegal Metropolitan Area). The table below groups the districts accordingly into three areas for geographical purposes, which have no legal or administrative significance.
