Four abolished raions, Khrystynivka, Mankivka, Monastyryshche, and Zhashkiv Raions, as well as the town of Uman, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Uman Raion.[2][3] The January 2020 population estimate for the raion population was 41,994 (2020 est.)[1]. The center of the raion was in Uman which was incorporated separately as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion.
