Administration

Rantauprapat was formerly an independent city situated within but administratively separate from Labuhan Batu Regency, but in 2003 its status of administrative city was erased as it did not fulfill the requirements, and it was merged into the Regency, within which it now comprises two districts (North Rantau and South Rantau). These two districts (kecamatan) are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census [5] and 2020 Census,[6] and the mid 2022 official estimates.[7]
