It is a relatively new settlement in comparison to other cities in the province. Its nearest neighbor is the city of El Buh, around 50 kilometers away.
In 2013, the number of households was 150. At that time, drought and flooding were reported to have washed away fertile soils and hindered cattle ranching.
According to a 2016 survey, Habarshiro has a well that provides water for water shortages in Midigale, Rad & Laako, Xarkadhere, Mindhicir, etc.
