Geographically, and to some extent politically, Hausjärvi is characterized by its three population centres, Hikiä (population 1,135), Oitti (population 2,416) and Ryttylä (population 1,842). The administrative center of the municipality is Oitti, but politically there sometimes emerges debate on which centres should be developed and/or made targets of public investment.

The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
