It is formally a settlement (naselje) of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.

[3] For the 2021 Croatian census, Vugrovec Donji, Kućanec, and Vuger Selo have been merged into a new settlement named Vugrovec, while Vugrovec Gornji remains as a separate settlement.

Vugrovec is located about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northeast of Zagreb city centre, and north of Sesvete.

Vugrovec lent its name to the Vuger stream, whose source lies nearby.
