Batanghari is a regency of Jambi Province in Sumatra, Indonesia. It originally covered a wider area, but on 4 October 1999 this was split between a new Muaro Jambi Regency in the east (surrounding the city of Jambi) and a reduced Batang Hari Regency in the west, which now covers an area of 5,804.83 km2. It had a population of 241,334 at the 2010 census[2] and 301,700 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 313,209 (comprising 160,228 males and 149,680 females).[1] The administrative capital is the town of Muara Bulian.

Administrative districts

The regency is split administratively into eight districts (kecamatan), listed below with their areas and their 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 centres, and the number of villages in each district (a total of 110 rural desa and 14 urban kelurahan - the latter including 5 in Muara Bulian District, 2 each in Batin XXIV District and Muara Tembisi District, and 1 in each of the other districts).
