The area of the district is 7,025 square kilometers (2,712 sq mi). Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Kichmengsky Gorodok. District's population: 18,485 (2010 Census); 22,187 (2002 Census);26,170 (1989 Census). The population of Kichmengsky Gorodok accounts for 34.9% of the district's total population.
Almost all of the district belongs to the basin of the Yug River and two of its main tributaries, the Kichmenga (left) and the Yentala (right). Only a few rivers in the northwest of the district drain into the Sukhona River. The Yug starts in the south of the district, flows south, exits the district, then makes a bow through the town of Nikolsk and reenters the district, crossing it from southwest to northeast before entering Kirov Oblast.
