As of 2010, the district had a population of 183,261 and a total area of 4 km2.[3] A number of large apartment buildings have been built over the past decade in District 4 including Rivergate Residence, Millenium, Galaxy 9, and Icon 56.
District 4 is a triangular cay, surrounded by rivers and canals. It borders Saigon River and the city of Thủ Đức to the northeast, Bến Nghé River and District 1 to the northwest, and Tẻ Canal and District 7 to the south.
