Statistical Districts of Malta. Note: indexed here as 6, Gozo and Comino is a Statistical Region in its own right

Malta is for non-local government purposes divided into districts as opposed to the local government localities. The three main types of such districts – statistical, electoral at national level, and policing – have no mainstream administrative effect as the local councils form the first-tier – moreover only administrative tier – divisions of the country.

Statistical districts and regions

Six districts exist, used for statistical purposes and which are, in turn, grouped into five regions: , Reġjun Tramuntana, Reġjun Ċentrali (both of which were formerly part of Malta Majjistral region), Reġjun Nofsinhar, Reġjun Xlokk (both of which were formerly part of Malta Xlokk region), and Gozo. Each district consists of several localities. The Northern Harbour District, Western District and Northern District together form the North Western Region (Malta Majjistral). The South Eastern District and Southern Harbour District form the South Eastern Region (Malta Xlokk). The Gozo and Comino District is a Region in its own right.[1]
