There are altogether 412 DCCAs covering 18 districts in Hong Kong in 2011. In districts on Hong Kong Island, there are a higher number of DCCAs where White, Filipino and others reside, compared to districts in the rest of Hong Kong. In Kowloon Peninsula, none of the DCCAs has white population >5%. In Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, a higher number of DCCAs have Indonesians accounting for over 5% of the population.
