Communities in the riding include Virden, Elkhorn, Oak Lake, Hartney, Deloraine, Melita, Reston and Boissevain.
In 1999, the average family income was $41,338, and the unemployment rate was 4.80%. The riding is primarily agrarian, with agriculture accounting for 32% of its industry.
Ten per cent of the Arthur-Virden's residents list German as their ethnic background. The riding has one of the highest rates of senior citizens in the province, at 19.7% of the total.
