It had a population of 553,216 at the 2010 census[3] and 637,161 at the 2020 census;[4] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 662,546.[1] The administrative centre of the Rokan Hilir Regency is located at the town of Bagansiapiapi.

Administrative districts

[edit]

As at 2010, the regency was divided into thirteen districts (kecamatan), but two additional districts (Kubu Babusalam and Pekaitan) were created by splitting of the Kubu and Bangko districts respectively; and more recently three more districts (Tanjung Medan, Bagan Sinembah Raya and Balai Jaya) were added by splitting of the Pujud and Bagan Sinembah districts respectively. The eighteen districts are listed below with their areas and populations at the 2010 census[3] and the 2020 census,[4] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 159 rural desa and 25 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
