3,039 Units Post-rearrangement Meet Both Criteria
The Ministry of Home Affairs announced that after the 2025 rearrangement, the country will have 3,321 commune-level administrative units remaining, including 2,636 communes, 672 wards, and 13 special units.
Of these, 3,193 are new commune-level administrative units formed through the rearrangement, merger, and adjustment of existing ones, while 128 units remain unchanged.
Thus, the total number of commune-level administrative units decreased by 6,714 compared to before the rearrangement (a reduction rate of 66.91%).
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, 3,039 out of 3,193 commune-level administrative units post-rearrangement meet the standards for natural area size and population scale as stipulated in Resolution No. 76/2025/UBTVQH15 of the National Assembly Standing Committee (a rate of 95.18%).
Among them, 2,536 commune-level administrative units post-rearrangement meet both standards for natural area size and population scale as directed by the National Assembly Standing Committee’s Resolution No. 76.
The Ministry of Home Affairs also stated that 154 commune-level administrative units did not meet the directed standards for natural area size or population scale but could not be further rearranged with adjacent units.
