=== Density ===
[[File:Israel population density 2018.png|thumb|upright|Population density per square kilometer, by [[Districts of Israel|district]], sub-district and geographical area]]
Geographic deployment, as of 2018:
* [[Central District (Israel)|Central District]]: 24.5% (2,196,100)
* [[Tel Aviv District]]: 15.9% (1,427,200)
* [[Northern District (Israel)|Northern District]]: 16.2% (1,448,100)
* [[Southern District (Israel)|Southern District]]: 14.5% (1,302,000)
* [[Haifa District]]: 11.5% (1,032,800)
* [[Jerusalem District]]: 12.6% (1,133,700)
* [[Judea and Samaria Area]] (West Bank) (Israelis only): 4.8% (427,800)

=== Population growth rate ===
* 2.0% (2016)

During the 1990s, the Jewish [[population growth rate]] was about 3% per year, as a result of massive immigration to Israel, primarily from the republics of the [[former Soviet Union]]. There is also a very high population growth rate among certain Jewish groups, especially adherents of [[Orthodox Judaism]]. The growth rate of the [[Arab citizens of Israel|Arab]] population in Israel is 2.2%, while the growth rate of the Jewish population in Israel is 1.8%. The growth rate of the Arab population has slowed from 3.8% in 1999 to 2.2% in 2013, and for the Jewish population, the growth rate declined from 2.7% to its lowest rate of 1.4% in 2005. Due to a rise in fertility of the Jewish population since 1995 and immigration, the growth rate has since risen to 1.8%.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Jewish-Arab demographic about-face |date=10 November 2017 |url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/21243}}</ref>

=== Fertility ===
The [[total fertility rate]] (TFR) of a population is the average number of children that an average woman would have, in her lifetime.

* 3.01 children born/woman (2019)
Jewish [[total fertility rate]] increased by 10.2% during 1998–2009, and was recorded at 2.90 during 2009. During the same time period, Arab TFR decreased by 20.5%. Muslim TFR was measured at 3.73 for 2009, and 2.9 for 2022.<ref name=taub/>

In 2000, the Jewish and Arab TFRs in Jerusalem were 3.79 and 4.43 respectively. By 2009, the Jewish TFR in Jerusalem was measured higher than the Arab TFR (2010: 4.26 vs 3.85, 2009: 4.16 vs 3.87). As of 2021, the Jewish and Arab TFRs in Jerusalem were 4.4 and 3.1 respectively.<ref>[https://www.israelhayom.co.il/judaism/judaism-news/article/14078479 ירושלים של מיליון: רק שני שלישים מתושבי הבירה לוקחים חלק בכוח העבודה]</ref> TFR for Arab residents in the West Bank was measured at 2.91 in 2013,<ref>{{cite web |year=2013 |title=Total Fertility Rate |url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2127.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130811191145/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2127.html |archive-date=11 August 2013 |access-date=5 April 2013 |work=The World Factbook |publisher=Central Intelligence Agency}}</ref> while that for the Jewish residents was reported at 5.10 children per woman.<ref>{{cite web |date=11 September 2012 |title=Fertility Rates, Average Age of Mother and Sex Ratio at Birth, by Selected Characteristics of the Mother |url=http://www1.cbs.gov.il/reader/shnaton/templ_shnaton_e.html?num_tab=st03_14x&CYear=2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121113201116/http://www1.cbs.gov.il/reader/shnaton/templ_shnaton_e.html?num_tab=st03_14x&CYear=2012 |archive-date=13 November 2012 |access-date=20 October 2012 |work=Statistical Abstract of Israel |publisher=Israel Central Bureau of Statistics}}</ref>

The ethnic group with highest recorded TFR is the Bedouin of Negev. Their TFR was reported at 10.06 in 1998, and 5.73 in 2009. TFR is also very high among Haredi Jews. For [[Ashkenazim|Ashkenazi]] Haredim, the TFR rose from 6.91 in 1980 to 8.51 in 1996. The figure for 2008 is estimated to be even higher. TFR for [[Sephardim|Sephardi]]/[[Mizrachim|Mizrahi]] Haredim rose from 4.57 in 1980 to 6.57 in 1996.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Fertility Dynamic of Israel's Ultra-Orthodox Jews and Pronatalist Governmental Policy |url=http://www.focusanthro.org/archive/2005-2006/katz0506.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090327083941/http://www.focusanthro.org/archive/2005-2006/katz0506.pdf |archive-date=27 March 2009 |access-date=18 November 2007}}</ref> In 2020 the overall Jewish TFR in Israel (3.00) was for the first time measured higher than Arab Muslim TFR (2.99).

As of 2022, the fertility rates in Israeli cities dominated by specific demographic groups were: Haredi 6.1, Bedouin 4.4, Jewish non-Haredi 2.4, Arab 2.2, Druze 1.8.<ref name=taub>[https://www.taubcenter.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Demography-HEB-2023.pdf הדמוגרפיה של ישראל 2023: ירידות בפריון, בהגירה ובתמותה]</ref>
