The urban area comprises two of the districts of the present Manokwari Regency - Manokwari Barat (West Manokwari) and Manokwari Timur (East Manokwari). The adjoining districts of Manokwari Utara (to the west) and Manokwari Selatan (to the south) are rural districts which do not form part of the urban area. The two town districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census and according to the most recent official estimates for mid 2018. The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural "desa" and urban "kelurahan") in each district, and its postal code.
