One abolished raion, Derhachi, as well as Liubotyn Municipality, part of Nova Vodolaha Raion, and the city of Kharkiv, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Kharkiv Raion.[3][4] The January 2020 estimate of the population of the former Kharkiv Raion was 176,186 (2020 est.).[5]
