=== 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>
