Historically, Piriu has been an agricultural settlement. Its economy is primarily based on farming and related activities. Like many rural communities in the region, Piriu has experienced demographic shifts over time. The population consists of a mix of ethnic groups, with Moldovans, Russians, and Ukrainians being the most prominent.

The infrastructure in Piriu includes basic amenities such as a school, a cultural center, and a medical facility. The village is connected to surrounding areas by local roads. The cultural life of Piriu is influenced by the traditions of the Dniester region. Local festivals and events often reflect the cultural heritage of its inhabitants. The political status of Transnistria, and by extension Piriu, remains a complex and unresolved issue internationally, with the territory de facto governed by its own authorities but not recognized by most countries.
