Thompson is located in the north of the province. It is bordered by Rupertsland to the north and east, Flin Flon to the north and west, and The Pas to the south. The city of Thompson was incorporated shortly before the riding's creation, and is its only major urban centre. Almost half of the riding's residents live in that community.
The riding's population in 1996 was 19,349. In 1999, the average family income was $56,402, and the unemployment rate was 12.60%. The riding's character is primarily working-class, with 17% of its economy coming from the mining sector.
Forty-two per cent of the riding's residents are aboriginal, the third highest rate in the province.
