As of 2020, Dobong has a population of 315,979 and an area of 20.71 square kilometres (8.00 sq mi), and is divided into four administrative neighborhoods.

[2] In 1988, the sixteen administrative neighborhoods in Dobong-dong, Chang-dong, Wolgye-dong, Gongneung-dong, Hagye-dong, Junggye-dong, and Sanggye-dong were split off to form Nowon District.

However, property values have been steadily increasing and due to developments like the construction of the Changdong Station GTX line, nearby apartment prices have been rising exponentially.

Additionally, Dobong District is home to the largest concentration of sock manufacturing facilities in the country.

While most of these are not large factories, they mainly consist of small-scale workshops located in building basements or homes.
