The Moka District includes different regions; however, some regions are further divided into different suburbs.[3] Note that the statistics do not take into account that Ripailles was created out of Nouvelle Découverte and that Pailles was absorbed by Port-Louis Municipal Council in 2011 following the new Local Government Act.[4]
