The region covers approximately several hundred square kilometers of predominantly flat to gently rolling terrain, with the primary economic activities centered around pastoralism, particularly camel and goat herding, which local communities have practiced for generations. While specific population figures for Maalimin are not widely documented, the broader Lagdera sub-county has an estimated population of under 100,000 people, primarily from Somali ethnic groups who maintain strong cultural traditions and clan affiliations. The area contains several smaller settlements and villages within its boundaries, though it remains predominantly rural with limited infrastructure development.
