Bogor Regency Indonesian: Kabupaten Bogor is a regency (kabupaten) of West Java, Indonesia, south of DKI Jakarta, and bordered by Tangerang Regency, the cities of South Tangerang, Depok and Bekasi, and finally Bekasi Regency all to the north, and fully encircling Bogor City. It is considered a bedroom community for Jakarta, and currently home to over 5 million people.[1]
The area has witnessed significant population growth. Two areas formerly within the Regency have been split off as autonomous cities; on 20 April 1999, the city of Depok (until then a part of the Regency) was unified with some neighbouring districts of Bogor Regency to form an autonomous city of Depok (independent of the Regency); and Bogor city is also an autonomous city (similarly independent of the Regency).
In the residual area of the Regency, the 2010 census counted 4,770,744 people, of which 2,450,426 are male. Given that the regency covers 2,663.83 km2 after the spinoffs of Bogor and Depok cities, the density stands at 1,791 people per km2.[2]
