# Jewish population by city

This is a list of Jewish populations in different cities and towns around the world. It includes statistics for populations of metropolitan areas, as well as statistics about the number of Jews as a percentage of the total city or town population.

## Jewish population by metropolitan area

The global Jewish population is heavily concentrated in major urban centers. As of 2021, more than half (51.2%) of world Jewry resided in just ten metropolitan areas. Nearly all these key centers of Jewish settlement typically include national or regional capitals with high standards of living, advanced infrastructure supporting higher education and technology sectors, and extensive transnational connections. The table below shows only metropolitan areas with Jewish population above 100,000 as of 2021:
| Metropolitan area | Country | Number | % of Jews out of total population |

## Jewish population by city proper

New York City is home to the largest Jewish community outside of Israel. In 2011, according to the UJA-Federation of New York, the five boroughs of New York City proper was home to 1,086,000 Jews, representing 13% of the city's population. In 2023, 960,000 Jews live in the city, nearly half of them live in Brooklyn.
Census enumerations in many countries do not record religious or ethnic background, leading to a lack of certainty regarding the exact numbers of Jewish adherents. Therefore, the following list of cities ranked by Jewish population is not complete. In particular, it excludes many Jewish-majority cities in Israel. Many of the U.S. cities have their data sourced from the Jewish Data Bank, which records population statistics for service areas that encompass many counties in a metropolitan area.
