Rehoboth lies on a high elevation plateau with several natural hot-water
springs. It receives sparse mean annual rainfall of 240 millimeters (9.4 in),

two electoral constituencies in the town, Rehoboth Urban West and Rehoboth
Urban East.
Administration
Rehoboth is divided into eight
neighborhoods, called blocks. The oldest part of the town is blocks A, B and C,
whereby block B contains most public services and shops. Block D is home to the
wealthiest inhabitants of the town. Block E is the poorest neighborhood and was
originally (under Apartheid) designated for blacks. Blocks F, G and H are the
newest neighborhoods.
Public amenities include a
public hospital, primary and secondary schools and a district court with
resident magistrate. The Oanob Dam, approximately six kilometers from Rehoboth,
supplies the town with fresh water. The earlier Rehoboth majority consisted of the Basters population almost until 2015, but this standards have changed over the past years as more people from other tribes migrate to Rehoboth.
