The district scored 79 points on a 100-point scale on criteria about population size, natural area, the number of ward-level administration units, socio-economic growth, and other specific characteristics.  The minimum point score for a district to become a first-grade administrative unit is 75.

This is the third district in the city to be recognised as a first-grade administrative unit, after Lien Chieu District in late May and Hai Chau in mid-July.
