Ra'anana's population consists mainly of native-born Israelis, but about 22% of the city's residents are immigrants to Israel (Ra'anana is ranked second in immigrant absorption in Israel, after [[Netanya]]). It is home to a large number of immigrants from English-speaking countries, a significant number of immigrants from Latin America, mainly [[Argentina]], and also absorbed large numbers of immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
