Talk:List of urban areas by Jewish population

Qırmızı Qəsəbə
Qırmızı Qəsəbə Is 100% Jewish. Shouldn't it be on top of the percntage table? 2601:14F:4403:3000:835:ECE1:859E:7545 (talk) 07:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Louisville, KY
Louisville should be added in the 79th spot in: Jewish population by metropolitan areas. According to the website https://jewishlouisville.org/community/louisvilles-jewish-community/ Louisville's Jewish population is around 8,500. Louisville even boasts a Jewish Hospital, which many cities much larger do not have. cardcats — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cardcats (talk • contribs) 22:32, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Squirrel Hill
If Saint-Laurent is going to be included, then surely Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh should. Our very own Wikipedia states that it is 40% Jewish. Squirrel_Hill#Jewish_community — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.147.28.1 (talk) 18:15, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Boca Raton, Florida is in the Miami Metro Area.


 * The percentage and total figures should be swapped. The total figures give a better sense of where the largest Jewish communities in the world are.  Additionally, The percentage figures are misleading in that they include suburbs and small towns in the UK and Canada, but not the US.  In terms of percentages, suburbs such as Newton, MA and New Rochelle, NY would likely have percentages that would make this list. (And the Hasidic enclaves of New Square and Kiryas Joel, NY would rank near the top of the list.)Mhpine 04:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Feel free to add those cities to the list if you have the stats. MTLskyline (talk) 05:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I doubt the thoroughness even of the total numbers listed below. For example, the Atlanta metropolitan region now reportedly has a Jewish population well over 100,000, although it appears nowhere on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.152.10 (talk) 15:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Same goes to the lack of mention of the Coachella Valley, California where the resort cities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert have large active Jewish communities. An estimated 20,000 Jews live in the area, (History of the Jews in the U.S. - Palm Springs, California) but other statistics find up to a quarter of Palm Desert's residents are Jewish and the United Jewish Congress of the Desert represented the influence of local Jews from celebrities to businessmen to political figures have in the California desert since the 1930's. The Palm Springs area would ranked 60th on the list, but I cannot find the proper sources to include them. Mike D 26 (talk) 00:32, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

120,000 Jews in La Paz, Bolivia?
No way! How can this be? Something's wrong with this table and this article in general just seems weird to me. Songflower (talk) 08:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

OK, I googled it. This site: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Bolivia.html says there are SIX HUNDRED JEWS in all of Bolivia. Now, that makes me think even more that a lot of the other numbers on this page are probably miles off as well! Songflower (talk) 08:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

The Andean region of South America has 100 to 120,000 Jews, the total number from the countries of Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile where the total Jewish population is 35 to 50,000 alone. The B'nai Moshe of Peru are Incan Jews or converted indigenous Peruvians practiced the Jewish faith. The Andean region along with the Southern Cone of South America (i.e. Argentina home to about 200,000 Jews, Uruguay and Southern Brazil) ranked 9th and 10th largest Jewish communities in the world respectively.

Vaughan
The "Jewish population outside Israel per cities and city areas in percentages" sections does not include Vaughan even though it's article seems to show a higher percentage than the lower ones on the chart. Is this a mistake? --Yair rand (talk) 00:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thank you! Breein1007 (talk) 02:07, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Washington DC
The Washington, DC area (i.e. Maryland and Northern Virginia) has 215,000 Jews according to the latest study done in 2003. The data sets are way off in this article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.78.28 (talk) 04:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

New demographic data for 2017 is now available (https://www.shalomdc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DCJewishCommunityStudy021118.pdf), and so the article needs to be updated accordingly. One-Off Contributor (talk) 20:59, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Manchester,UK
The old, original population did live in inner city Manchester. The vast majority of the people now live in parts of Salford and in Prestwich and Whitefield, which ARE part of Greater Manchester, but NOT part of the city of Manchester itself. There does remain a number of people, residing within those city's boundaries. The main area of Jewish population does, however, form a continuous urban area, straggling three local authority areas. For this reason, I would urge a change to Greater Manchester within the list. Otherwise you would have a list including Manchester, Salford and Bury Metro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.182.33 (talk) 14:02, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Also, re above, we are told it is 40,000 now, and the fastest growing community in Europe. 30,000? No way!!!! - signed by anon IP


 * When was the latest census of the Manchester area Jewish population. It has to be googled or binged to include a more accurate source. 71.102.13.174 (talk) 22:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

100,000 Jews in Budapest?
No way! How can this be? Something's wrong with this table. The Budapest-article says there are roughly 10.000, and the table's source says there are just 55.000 jews in Hungary in total.--93.229.107.217 (talk) 13:01, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't be sure the number represents non-practicing Jews or Jews by descent, but I heard the Jewish population was 25,000 in Budapest...again time to google/bing for that information. 71.102.13.174 (talk) 22:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Palestinian territories
A couple of places are listed as being in Israel when they are in the Palestinian territories, those being Hebron and Ariel. H2 is a Jewish settlement within Hebron which is in the West Bank, and Ariel is a standalone Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Neither of these places are in Israel and even Israel does not claim them as being in Israel. I dont think I can make the correction, so if somebody can revert this edit that would fix the error.  nableezy  - 14:35, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Pop of Hebron
The citation needed is Amelia Thomas, Michael Kohn, Miriam Raphael, Dan Savery Raz (eds) Israel & the Palestinian Territories, Lonely Planet 2010 p.320

Sources often, as the old one, confuse Kiryat Arba's population with Hebron's, and this confusion was resolved in the archives on that page with Tewfik back in 2007.

I'd add it myself but my hangove from festive drinking made me forget this morning I am trying to observe a selfban on article edits.Nishidani (talk) 09:24, 25 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Why is Hebron's 500-strong Israeli community even considered a significant population center? Most Israeli localities are more populated, and many other foreign communities have populations of thousands. We should really delete that.-- RM ( Be my friend ) 07:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It was there with the figure 6,000, which actually referred to the Kiryat Arba settlement outside Hebron, a distinct community that, as we all agreed on years ago. I didn't remove the name because someone might suspect my motives were I to do so, and start up an edit war. I think in any case, that you are right, and that it should, as it now stands, be deleted. But I'll leave that to others, if that is the consensus.Nishidani (talk) 14:05, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Jeusalem
Jerusalem is currently listed as "Israel", although East Jerusalem is not internationally recognized as part of Israel and irs not even clear if Western Jerusalem is, therefore it is not neutral to claim that Jerusalem (we an assume the entire city) being listed as "Israel", this is a clear npov violation. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 13:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

i don't get the differance of 1 Jewish population by metropolitan area and 3 Jewish population per metropolitan area
it is unclear (to me) what is the differance (maybe i am just to stupid)?134.3.76.108 (talk) 14:53, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Out of date
This article desperately needs to be updated with census results from sources more recent than 2002 (!) - signed by anon IP

Los Angeles Suburbs
http://www.mazorguide.com/communities/usa/california/californiahome.htm - Source of other Jewish communities of California (i.e. Los Angeles and San Diego).

Agoura Hills-Thousand Oaks: These cities located 30 miles northwest of L.A. on the Los Angeles County-Ventura County line have one of the highest percentages and per capita of Jews of any US city. The 16 or 17 percent Jewish population of the small unincorporated community of Oak Park is above average for any place in the US. Many of the local Jewish residents relocated from West Los Angeles including Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, and the western San Fernando Valley.

Laguna Beach-Newport Beach: The beach cities and towns of South Orange County have vibrant Jewish communities, a part of the ethnoracial and religious diversity of Orange County including the area's Muslims, Buddhists and Mormons. Other Jewish communities of Southern California with the highest concentrations are found in Santa Barbara and the San Diego area (for example, the Del Cerro neighborhood).

Lake Elsinore-Menifee: Located 60-some miles southeast of L.A. in Riverside County, including the master-planned community of Sun City, California, is a fast-growing suburban community. The lakeside resort of Lake Elsinore has a history of Jewish residents, but there has been times of intolerance by some locals against them like in 1959. http://archive.jta.org/article/1959/12/24/3061033/jewish-population-in-california-resort-city-reported-terrorized 71.102.13.174 (talk) 22:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Australian figures - major update
The information on Australia was majorly lacking so I updated it recently with the latest 2011 census data. In the census, Australia had approx. 95,000 Jews. Melbourne has the most Jews in Australia with around 44,000, followed closely by Sydney with 38,000. Although these two cities make up only 40% of Australia's population, they contain over 85% of it's Jewish population. Perth has another 5,610 Jews (out of about 2 million), while Brisbane and the Gold Coast have 3629 combined (out of around 2.5 million). Adelaide has 993, followed by Canberra (the capital) with 702. I didn't list these last few cities in the main article, however, as the numbers are quite small. As far as suburbs in Melbourne and Sydney, I added quite a few. There are now 5 suburbs listed for each city; previously, there were only 2 suburbs between them. Caulfield North (in Melbourne) has the highest number of Jews of any suburb in Australia, with 6522 living there. This is followed by Caulfield South, with 4349, and then St. Kilda East, with 3511 (these suburbs are all adjacent to one another). In Sydney, the Jewish population is far less concentrated, with no single suburb exceeding 3,000 Jews. Although in the article, I have only listed certain suburbs, there are plenty more I could have listed. In Melbourne, these include the following suburbs that are 10-15% Jewish: Brighton East, Toorak, Ormond, Balaclava, Ripponlea, Bentleigh East, Glen Huntly, and McKinnon, and the following suburbs that are between 5-10%: Carnegie, Bentleigh, Gardenvale, Kooyong, Malvern, and Armadale.

PARIS?
Paris is the largest jewish city in Europe and the 4 or 5th largest in the world outside of Israel. Check out sources? Paris jewish population (Urban area included) is around 240.000 persons. This list is absolutely not accurate and seriously needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.112.176.116 (talk) 11:19, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * No, the list is not accurate, lots of cities are missing. But for a city to be included, sources are needed. AFAIK, France does not collect data on religion in censuses, so there is no reliable data on how many Jews there are in Paris. More than in any other European city, definitely, but that is not relevant. No sourced data, no entry.Jeppiz (talk) 00:44, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Major US and UK sources
See US (2010) and UK (2011). Ideally, we can find proper research studies for as many of the non-census countries as possible.--Pharos (talk) 21:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

What about Buenos Aires??
Buenos Aires should definitely be included in this list! There would be in greater Buenos Aires between 140,250 and 244,000 Jews, which would place the city between Moscow and Boston... I haven't checked for any other Argentinian cities, but I m sure others would make it to this table as well.
