How Israel's population is changing
Israel records about 515 births and 147 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 368 people per day, or about 134,412 a year before migration is counted.
Net migration runs at about 11,466 over the reported period, with more people arriving than leaving. That is equivalent to about 9% of its natural change.
If the current rate held indefinitely, Israel would take roughly 58 years to double in size — a projection of today's rate, not a forecast.
Over the 9 years from 2016 to 2025, the population rose from 8.55 million to 10.1 million — a gain of 1.58 million, or 18.5%.
Where people live in Israel
With about 455 people per square kilometre, Israel is very densely populated, roughly 7.3× the world average of 62. That ranks 10th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are India and Haiti.
Israel covers about 21,640 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 10.1 million into that density figure.
About 91.6% of people live in urban areas, making Israel almost entirely urban, above the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 9.27 million town and city dwellers and 852,511 living rurally.

Israel has a broadly balanced age structure: about 27.2% are under 15 and 12.7% are 65 or older. Children outnumber over-65s by roughly 2.1 to one.
The total fertility rate is about 2.87 births per woman, above the ~2.1 replacement level, which is what sustains growth from births alone. The world figure is about 2.19.
