The provinces are subdivided into 71 districts ("wilaya'at") which are then subdivided into 262 divisions ("tarafa"). The divisions are subdivided into 2,427 locations ("kata") and then 6,612 sublocations ("kata ndogo") [Central Bureaus of Statistics (Kenya): [http://www.cartesia.org/geodoc/icc2005/pdf/oral/TEMA26/Session%203/ODHIAMBO%20E.A.pdf Census cartography: The Kenyan Experience] ] . A province is administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).

Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.

A third discrete type of classification are constituencies. They are further subdivided into wards.
