minor hill station resort, with a cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands. The area around Sukabumi is also a popular destination for whitewater rafting. Tea and Rubber production is a major industry in the area. The suburban area surrounding Sukabumi circling the mountain has grown tremendously in population, such that northern Sukabumi Regency, hugging the volcano, and bordering Greater Jakarta, is home to the bulk of the regency's population.
The area of the city is 48.31 km2, and the population at the 2010 Census was 300,359, while the 2020 Census was 346,325; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 370,680 (comprising 186,130 males and 184,550 females). However, another 1,459,342 people, as at the mid 2025 official estimates, live in the surrounding metropolitan area within Sukabumi Regency, notably in Cisaat and Gunungguruh Districts to the west of the city and Kebonpedes District to the east, all three being suburbs within the built-up area. The bulk of the metropolitan area population is unusual in that it forms a narrow southwest ring around Mount Gede. The eastern portion of the ringed population belt continues into Cianjur Regency.
