Pirita occupies a relatively large area, but compared to other districts of Tallinn its population of 19,746 (as of 1 August 2025) is relatively small. It mostly consists of private houses instead of the large blocks of flats typical of some other districts of Tallinn, such as Lasnamäe and Mustamäe. Large parts of the district consist of newly built modern buildings and houses. Pirita Beach is located in Pirita.

Pirita is one of the most prestigious and wealthiest districts of Tallinn,^[2] partly thanks to natural features such as its beach and yachting harbour. Pirita Beach is the largest in Tallinn, and in the summer it can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day.
