BPS data for 2022 maps Aceh’s administrative geography: 6,516 villages (gampong) and 290 sub-districts (kecamatan) spread across 23 regencies and cities.

The figures reveal a stark gap between compact urban municipalities and sprawling rural regencies. Key findings Total provincial units: Aceh comprises 6,516 gampong and 290 kecamatan according to the 2022 master file.

Highest gampong count: Aceh Utara leads with 852 gampong, followed by Pidie (731) and Bireuen (609). Lowest kecamatan count: Sabang recorded only 3 kecamatan, the smallest among all areas in the province.

Urban bottom three: Lhokseumawe (4 kecamatan) and Subulussalam (5) join Sabang at the low end of sub-district totals.

Average per district: Across 23 regencies/cities, the typical count is around 283 gampong and 13 kecamatan.
