It has an area of 6.47 km 2. Originally an independent municipality, it was annexed to Brno in 1919, and since November 24, 1990, it makes up most of the city district of Brno-Židenice, as well as the entirety of Brno-Vinohrady on the eastern side. About 33,000 people live here, making Židenice the most populated cadastral territory in Brno.

The name of the village (Židenici in its oldest form) was derived from the personal name Židen (less likely Židna), which was a domestic form of some personal name beginning with Ž(i)d-, for example Židebor, Židemir, Ždimir (in the base of which is ž(i)dati - "expect"). The meaning of the name was "Židen's people". The German name developed by shortening from the Czech name.

Most of the current border of the cadastral territory of Židenice was determined during the cadastral reform of Brno in the second half of the 1960s. At the end of the 1970s, the current border with Líšeň was established, whereby Židenice lost all land in modern Líšeň. This boundary change was necessitated by the construction of the Nový Líšeň panel housing estate, as some of the panel houses encroached on the Židenice cadastral territory. The entire cadastral territory of Židenice remained part of the Brno IV municipal district until 1990. In the 1970s, the entire village core of Židenice was demolished. In the first half of the 1980s, the construction of the last panel housing estate in Brno, Vinohrady, began in the northeastern part of the Židenice cadastral territory, during which the entire colony of "Hamburg" was demolished. After the Velvet Revolution, since November 24, 1990, the cadastral territory of Židenice has been divided between the modern city districts of Brno-Židenice and Brno-Vinohrady. On March 28, 2015, panel houses in the northwest of the Brno-Vinohrady district, which previously belonged to the Maloměřice cadastral territory, were moved to the cadastral territory of Židenice.

In the west, the territory is defined by the river Svitava, while it also includes the western bank. In the northwest by the railway line approximately No. 260. In the north, the border runs through the gardening settlement under Akátky, then along the northern edge of the Vinohrady housing estate and through an intersection directly to Pod Hády street. It follows this for a short time and then continues through the countryside along an indistinct route to Hády Street below Kavky. It follows it for almost 600 meters before turning directly north through the territory of Velká Klajdovka, onto the upper road leading through the former Hády quarry, and roughly along it leads to road II/373. The eastern border is along this road, i.e. Jedovnické street, then along Křtinská street, Líšeňská street, and along the western edge of the Zetor industrial complex. The southern border is then roughly along Vlárské dráhy and then along Olomoucká street to Svitava. Židenice is adjacent to other Brno cadastral territories Trnitá, Zábrdovice, Husovice, Maloměřice, Líšeň, Slatina, Černovice and briefly borders the territory of the municipality of Kanice.
