The area of the district is 3,200 square kilometers (1,200 sq mi). Its administrative center is the urban locality (a work settlement) of Khvoynaya. Population: 15,552 (2010 census); 17,173 (2002 Census); 19,649 (1989 Soviet census). The population of Khvoynaya accounts for 41.1% of the district's total population. Almost the whole area of the district lies in the basin of the Mologa River. The Kobozha, a major left tributary of the Mologa, crosses the district from south to north. The Pes flows through the center of the district and into Vologda Oblast, where it joins the Chagodoshcha, another major tributary of the Mologa. The rivers in the southwestern part of the district drain into the Uver, a right tributary of the Msta.
