As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 10,087 and an area of 34.9 square kilometres (13.5 sq mi).
The municipality of Terralba contains the frazione (subdivision) Marceddì e Tanca Marchese.
Terralba borders the following municipalities: Arborea, Arbus, Guspini, Marrubiu, San Nicolò d'Arcidano and Uras.
In 1130 was established the Diocese of Terralba.
It was held in personal union (aeque principaliter) with the neighbouring Roman Catholic Diocese of Ales from 1503.12.08 until its suppression on 1986.09.30, when its territory were merged into Ales as the present Roman Catholic Diocese of Ales-Terralba, remaining a suffragan of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oristano.
Its former cathedral episcopal see dedicated to the Apostle Peter became the Co-Cathedral: Concattedrale di S. Pietro Apostolo, in Terralba.
