It covers an area of 8,568.01 km2, and it had a population of 500,970 at the 2010 CensusBiro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011. and 609,392 at the 2020 Census;Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021. the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 660,370 (comprising 337,416 males and 322,954 females).Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 27 February 2026, Kabupaten Kubu Raya Dalam Angka 2026 (Katalog-BPS 1102001.6112) The principal town lies at Sungai Raya, directly adjacent to the City of Pontianak. Despite its close location to Pontianak, the regional capital and economic centre of the West Kalimantan Province, Kubu Raya highly lacks sufficient infrastructure development, which has caused general suspicions regarding the performance of its local government.
