Until 18 July 2020, Yizhivtsi belonged to Storozhynets Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Storozhynets Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion.[2][3] In 2001, 97.75% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 1.51% spoke Ukrainian.[4]
