Within the urban area of Beijing, it occupies 470.8 square kilometres, making it the central city's largest district, with Haidian second. As of November 2020, Chaoyang had a total population of 3,452,460, making it the most populous district in Beijing. The district has jurisdiction over 24 subdistrict offices and 19 area offices.
