Altogether , eleven densely populated districts comprising 8.3 million people were affected , but the regencies of Bantul , Sleman , Gunung Kidul , Kulon Progo , Klaten , and the city of Yogyakarta were especially hard hit . More than 5,700 people were killed in the early morning shock , with tens of thousands injured , and hundreds of thousands made homeless . Total financial losses from the event are estimated to be Rp 29.1 Trillion ( $ 3.1 B ) , with 90 % of the damage affecting the private sector ( homes and private businesses ) and only 10 % affecting the public sector . The damage to housing accounted for about half of the total losses and a comparison was made to the damage to homes in Aceh following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami . Damage in central Java was more pronounced because of the substandard construction practices and the high population density , but on the other end of the scale , damage to infrastructure was very limited
