Geography
Nova Ushytsia Raion was located in the south-central part of Khmelnytskyi Oblast, corresponding to the modern-day boundaries of the Volhynia and Podolia historical regions. Its total area constituted 853 km2 and about 3.9 percent of the oblast's area.

History
Nova Ushytsia Raion was first established on March 7, 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Subdivisions
At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of one hromada, Nova Ushytsia settlement hromada with the administration in Nova Ushytsia.

Nova Ushytsia Raion was divided in a way that followed the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government was also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.

Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the Nova Ushytsia Raion was divided into:
 * 1 settlement council—made up of the urban-type settlement of Nova Ushytsia (administrative center)
 * 21 village councils

Overall, the raion had a total of 59 populated localities, consisting of one urban-type settlement, 57 villages, and one rural settlement.
