Since the creation of West Java Province,<ref name=govwj /> the province of West Java was subdivided into four [[Cities of Indonesia|cities]] ({{lang|id|Kota}}) and sixteen [[Regencies of Indonesia|regencies]] ({{lang|id|Kabupaten}}), excluding the four regencies which were separated off in 2000 to form the new Banten Province. Subsequently five new independent cities were created between 1996 and 2002 by separation from their surrounding regencies - '''Bekasi''' on 16 December 1996, '''Depok''' on 27 April 1999, '''Cimahi''' and '''Tasikmalaya''' on 21 June 2001, and '''Banjar''' on 11 December 2002. A 17th regency was formed on 2 January 2007 – [[West Bandung Regency]] – from the western half of Bandung Regency, and an 18th regency was formed in October 2012 – [[Pangandaran Regency]] – from the southern half of Ciamis Regency. On 25 October 2013, the [[People's Representative Council]] (DPR) began reviewing draft laws on the establishment of 57 prospective new regencies (and eight new provinces),<ref>''Jakarta Post'', 14 November 2013</ref> including a further three regencies in West Java – South Garut ({{lang|id|Garut Selatan}}), North Sukabumi ({{lang|id|Sukabumi Utara}}) and West Bogor ({{lang|id|Bogor Barat}}) – but no action has followed in view of the moratorium adopted since 2013 by the Indonesian government on the creation of new provinces, regencies and cities, so none of these three prospective regencies are shown separately on the map below, nor in the following table.
These 9 cities and 18 regencies are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census <ref name="Biro Pusat Statistik 2011">Biro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011.</ref> and 2020 Census, <ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2021">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021.</ref> together with official estimates as at mid 2024.<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2025">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 28 February 2025, ''Provinsi Jawa Barat Dalam Angka 2025'' (Katalog-BPS 1102001.32)</ref> They are divided into 627 [[Districts of West Java|districts]] ({{lang|id|Kecamatan}}) as at 2024, which comprise 663 urban [[Administrative village|villages]] ({{lang|id|Kelurahan}}) and 5,294 rural villages ({{lang|id|Desa}}).<ref name="govwj">{{cite book|title=Governance of West Java|year=2008|publisher=West Java Government|page=17}}</ref> The table also includes the average population density as at mid 2024 for each regency or city.<ref>Proyeksi Penduduk Kabupaten/Kpta Provinsi Jawa Barat 2020-2035 | Hasil Sunsus Penduduk 2020.</ref>).
