Jewish locality

A Jewish locality (Hebrew: יישוב יהודי‎, Yishuv Yehudi)[1] is a class of settlement in Israel and the West Bank, referring to urban localities administered by regional councils. In 2012 there were 32 places classified as Jewish localities.[2] The Central Bureau of Statistics divides them into two types by population; 2,000–4,999 residents and 5,000–9,999 residents.[2]

Localities numbering above 5,000 residents in Israel are typically given local council status. An exception is Atlit, a former local council, that was stripped of its status in 2003.
