In the 1991 census, the population composition for the municipality was as follows:

• Bosniaks - 48,102 (59.17%)
• Serbs - 30,863 (37.96%)
• Yugoslavs - 1248 (1.53%)
• other - 1082 (1.33%)

During the Bosnian War , Muslims were expelled from both the city and the community. Mass graves from this period are repeatedly found in and around Zvornik. In return, Serbian refugees were resettled - also to consolidate the “new conditions”. Nevertheless, a relatively large number of the Bosniaks have now returned to Zvornik. However, the total population is almost 20,000 lower than before the Bosnian war.

In the 2013 census, 65.5% identified themselves as Serbs and 33.7% as Bosniaks.
