Olim by origin
Counts are shown only when every group in that period is 0 or 11 and up. Otherwise each group of 11 or more is shown as a whole-percent share of the town's olim, and the breakdown may be withheld, so that no group of 1 to 10 can be worked out.
| Group | 2015 to 2019 | 2023 to 2025 | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anglo (USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland) | Fewer than 11 | Fewer than 11 | - |
| French (France and its overseas territories, Monaco) | Fewer than 11 | Fewer than 11 | - |
| Russian-speaking (former Soviet Union) | 63% of olim | 88% of olim | stable |
| Latin American | Fewer than 11 | Fewer than 11 | - |
| Ethiopian | Fewer than 11 | Fewer than 11 | - |
| Other origins | Fewer than 11 | Fewer than 11 | - |
"Fewer than 11" marks a group of 0 to 10. "Withheld" marks a figure hidden so that a small group cannot be worked out. Cells under 11 are suppressed and checked against our other published files.

Family rent is the like-for-like comparison: CBS 3.5 to 4 rooms where CBS covers the city, otherwise the indicative nadlan.gov.il 4-room figure, both against the CBS national 3.5 to 4 room average (NIS 5,453.8). Compare percentage gaps rather than shekels across the two bases.

Schools and socio-economic level
Bagrut eligibility is an authority-wide average across all school streams. In cities with a large Haredi or Arab school sector it says little about the school a given family will choose.
