Telefomin serves as the administrative center for the district and is accessible primarily by air transport due to the difficult topography that limits road connectivity. The district is home to an estimated population of around 25,000 people, primarily from the Telefol, Tifal, and other Min-speaking cultural groups who maintain traditional subsistence agriculture practices. Telefomin is divided into several local-level government areas that manage community services and development initiatives.
