Netanya took 252 Anglo olim in 2025, the most in the 11 years of the Ministry series (the previous high was 233 in 2021). Of the 252, 98 (39%) were 65 or older and another 69 were 45 to 64.
Over 2023 to 2025, 32% of Netanya's Anglo olim were 65 or older, against 12.8% of Anglo olim nationally. Only 12% were children.
For retirees that means peers arriving at the same stage, a 26-minute train to Tel Aviv HaShalom and family rent about 3% below the national average.
Lo que esto no muestra
Netanya does not qualify for the larger olim rent aid. The atlas does not measure hospital access, and retirees face their own old-age benefit rules. The file records the first locality only, so it cannot say how many stay.
Qué hacer
If you are retiring to Israel, check hospital access and your old-age benefit rules before you commit. If you will rent, compare Netanya with towns that qualify for the larger rent aid, which requires not owning a home.
Método
