It has a population of 1,532,243 as of the 2010 Census.{{ru-pop-ref|2010Census}} Its administrative center is located at Khanty-Mansiysk.

The peoples native to the region are the Khanty and the Mansi, known collectively as Ob-Ugric peoples, but today the two groups only constitute 2.5% of the region's population. The local languages, Khanty and Mansi, are part of the Ugric branch of the Finno-Ugric language family, and enjoy a special status in the autonomous okrug. Russian remains the only official language.

In 2012, the majority (51%)[http://www.newsru.com/finance/22feb2012/ugra.html В Ханты-Мансийском автономном округе добыта 10-миллиардная тонна нефти] of the oil produced in Russia came from Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, giving the region great economic importance in Russia and the world. It borders Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug to the north, Komi Republic to the northwest, Sverdlovsk Oblast to the west, Tyumen Oblast to the south, Tomsk Oblast to the south and southeast and Krasnoyarsk Krai in the east.

History

The okrug was established on December 10, 1930, as Ostyak-Vogul National Okrug ({{lang|ru|Остя́ко-Вогу́льский национа́льный о́круг}}). In October 1940, it was renamed the Khanty-Mansi National Okrug. In 1977, along with other national okrugs of the Russian SFSR, it became an autonomous okrug (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug). In 2003, the word "Yugra" was appended to the official name.{{cite web|url=http://www.kremlin.ru/acts/bank/19766|title=Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of July 25, 2003 No. 841|publisher=Official website of the President of Russia|language=ru}}
