What Simpang is
Simpang is a North Region planning area of 8.28 square kilometres. Its only land neighbours on URA's map are Sembawang and Yishun, and it reaches the coast to the north. SingStat's June 2026 table shows no residents here, published as nil or negligible, and the land is largely undeveloped. Simpang is one of seven planning areas where SingStat prints a dash rather than a number, alongside the Central Water Catchment, Changi Bay, Marina East, Marina South, Straits View and the Western Islands.
Rail and facilities
LTA's exit data shows no rail station inside Simpang. None of the agency registers we use, from MOE's schools to NEA's hawker centres, NParks' parks and MOH's clinics, places anything here.
Living nearby
The neighbouring towns are well populated. Sembawang had 115,270 residents in June 2026 and Yishun 231,030, and both have area profiles on this site with their stations, schools, hawker centres and polyclinics. Sembawang, Canberra, Yishun and Khatib stations on the North-South Line serve those towns.
Why it has a page
URA divides all of Singapore into 55 planning areas, and SingStat gives every one a row in its resident table, even when the figure is a dash. A page for Simpang keeps our table of all 55 complete and consistent with SingStat's national total, and it saves readers from wondering whether the gap on the map is an error.
