Which groups make up Tel Aviv–Yafo’s population?

The population of Tel Aviv–Yafo is composed of several distinct groups, though it is predominantly Jewish.12

• Jewish Population: The vast majority of the city's residents are Jewish. This population is considered to be largely secular, though it includes a significant religious minority. Many Jewish residents in specific neighborhoods, such as Ha-Tiqwa and Kefar Shalem, originate from Arabic-speaking countries.12
• Arab Population: Arabs, consisting mainly of Muslims and a number of Christians, account for a very small fraction of the total population. This community is primarily concentrated in parts of Yafo.1
• Foreign Workers: The city is home to both documented and undocumented foreign workers, who reside largely in enclaves within the inner south. It is believed that this group may be undercounted in official statistics.1
• Immigrant Populations: The city’s demographic makeup was notably influenced in the early 1990s by an influx of immigrants from the former Soviet Union.1

Overall, the city is characterized by a higher proportion of elderly residents and single-parent families compared to national averages.12
