On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Zakarpattia Oblast was reduced to six, and the area of Tiachiv Raion was significantly expanded. ^[3][4] According to the 2001 census, the majority of the population of the Teceu district spoke Ukrainian (83.52%), with Romanian (12.45%), Hungarian (2.76%) and Russian (1.06%) speakers in the minority.^[5] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 175,048 (2020 est.).^[6]
