The raion completely surrounded Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality with numerous villages bordering with it and are part of the city's infrastructure: Uhryniv, Yamnytsia, Drahomyrchany, Zahvizdya, and others.
There were 43 general education schools in the raion with the best ones located in Tysmenytsia, Yezupil, Lysets, Markivtsi, Radcha, Stari Kryvotuly, Chorny Lis, and Uhryniv.
[citation needed] Tysmenytsia Raion was divided into several municipalities (councils) some which are urban, others are rural.
Also, the city of Tysmenytsia carried a special status of independent administration within the raion.
Most of the populous municipalities were located next to Ivano-Frankivsk city virtually serving as the extraterritorial units of it (suburbs).
