It covers about 348 square kilometers (134 square miles) and had a population of about 460,500 in 2016. Ethnicity is about 79% Jews and others, and about 21% Arabs. Most of this area was part of the Tulkarm Subdistrict during the British Mandate. The part of that subdistrict east of the Green Line is now the Tulkarm Governorate.
