As of the 2010 Census, the total population of the district was 17,924.
The district was established in 1930.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Birsky District is one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is divided into fourteen selsoviets, comprising seventy-five rural localities.[4] The town of Birsk serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts (and which, in addition to Birsk, also includes two rural localities).
As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Birsky Municipal District, with the town of republic significance of Birsk being incorporated within it as Birsk Urban Settlement.[5] Its fourteen selsoviets are incorporated as fourteen rural settlements within the municipal district. The town of Birsk serves as the administrative center of the municipal district as well.
