Northern parts of the regency form a valley (above the 'neck' or narrowest part of the regency), and are far more densely populated than southern regions, with 68% of the regency's population in just 29.5% of its area. As such, a portion of the northern valley (consisting of Cugenang, Pacet, Sukaresmi and Cipanas Districts in the far northwest of the regency) was briefly included in a definition of Greater Jakarta called Jabodetabekjur (jur for Cianjur).
