Data
Israel by the numbers
Every dataset on this site, from official sources, built to be explored rather than read. Nothing here is a static table: pick a year, pick a country, hover the chart.
The datasets
Six datasets, each with its own explorer
Each card carries the headline figure as it stands today. The page behind it has the full series, the sources, and the arithmetic.
66 years of growth, the million-by-million milestones, and how much of it is immigration rather than births.
1,752,216 arrivals on record. Filter by year and country of origin to see who came and which town they chose.
Today's level against the upper and lower red lines, with the full record back to 1966.
Today's rate converted both ways, with the amounts people actually search for.
Every festival date computed from the Hebrew calendar, with the Israel and diaspora differences spelled out.
Candle lighting and havdalah, calculated from sunset for each location.
Coverage
How far back each one goes
Population runs 1960 to 2025, 66 annual figures, one per year with no gaps.
Aliyah runs from 1989, monthly at first and person by person from 2015, across 53 countries of origin.
The Kinneret file starts in 1966 and is read again every six hours, so the level on this page is the last reading the Water Authority published, not a monthly average.
Method
How this data is handled
Three rules, applied to every figure on the site.
- Official sources only. Every figure traces to a government or multilateral publication, linked on the page it appears.
- Baked at build time. The datasets are pulled, aggregated and committed, so a page never breaks because someone else's API is down.
- Estimates are labelled. Where a number is projected rather than measured, the page says so and shows the arithmetic.
Take the data
7 tables you can download
Every tracker and explorer publishes the table behind it as a plain CSV: the source's figures as we hold them, and the tables Israel.com computes from them. Cite the page, take the file.
Tables marked computed by Israel.com are released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0: reuse them with a link. The rest carry their publisher's terms, linked from each dataset's page.
Calculated, not collected
Four tools that compute rather than look up
These read the fixed Hebrew calendar and the position of the sun, so they need no dataset behind them and never go stale.
