Northern Harbour District
Malta is subdivided in districts of localities in order to administer the country in regions rather than locality. The districts have no administrative significance as the local councils provide the first-tier divisions of the country.
There are 6 districts, used for statistical purposes and which are, in turn, grouped into 3 regions: Gozo, Malta Majjistral and Malta Xlokk. Each district consists of a number of 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 together form the South Eastern Region (Malta Xlokk). The Gozo and Comino District is a Region in its own right.
The Southern Harbour District forms part of Malta Xlokk. It contains 14 local councils including the capital Valletta and the cities of Birgu, Cospicua, Senglea and Żabbar, with the largest locality being Żabbar while the smallest one is Xgħajra. The total population of the District is 81,834 (as of March 2013), while total area is 26.1 km2. It is the second largest district by population and the fifth largest by area.

It contains 13 local councils including the city of Qormi, with the largest locality being Birkirkara (pop. 22,319) while the smallest one is Ta' Xbiex (pop. 1,835).
