The city of Jerusalem presents the highest negative immigration balance in Israel - this is according to an analysis carried out by the Alder Real Estate Marketing company of the internal migration data of the CBS for 2021. Almost 23 thousand people left the capital city in 2021, compared to only about 12 people who entered it - Which places the city with a negative immigration balance of about 11 thousand people.

Roni Cohen, CEO of Elder Marketing, which analyzed the data, points out that "one of the main reasons for the negative immigration from Jerusalem is the city's escalating trend in recent years - many secular young people who lived in the capital and do not like the trend, are looking for a more heterogeneous living environment and are leaving Jerusalem."

The outgoing-incoming ratio is almost double.

In second place in the negative immigration balance is Ashdod, from which 3,650 people left (net - incoming less outgoing) last year.

"The main reason for leaving is the high apartment prices in the city of Ashdod - a young population from the city flows to nearby cities such as Ashkelon or Gan Yavne that offer residential alternatives at lower prices," says Cohen.

After Ashdod, Haifa is ranked with a negative immigration balance of 3,500 people, "In Haifa, the stock of apartments at prices suitable for young people or young families is very limited, and the new projects that are built are relatively few and offer prices that are too expensive for them, and they move to Kiryat and cities that are closer and cheaper," says Cohen.

Bnei Brak has a negative immigration balance of 3,300 people - "The dense Bnei Brak is characterized by an ultra-Orthodox population with many children who cannot find a solution in the city due to a lack of suitable housing solutions. The establishment of the new 'Ayelet Hashar' neighborhood in the north of the city, where hundreds of new apartments are expected to be built, is expected to answer some of these demands." .

The city of Tel Aviv is ranked fifth in terms of negative immigration balance - with a net total of 2,900 people who left.

Cohen points out that "although approximately 24,000 people left the city in 2021, at the same time approximately 21,000 people entered it during this period, which more or less balances the data. A significant portion of those leaving are apartment renters who moved in light of the rising rental prices in the city".

In sixth place in the negative migration balance is the city of Bat Yam with 2,514 net people who left, followed by Holon, Beit Shean, Beer Sheva, and Rishon Lezion which closes the top ten with 1,550 net people who left the city.

On the other hand, in the positive balance of immigration, Harish, which only recently received the status of a city - in 2021, about 7,800 people entered it compared to 1,250 people who left - a positive balance of about 6,500.

Cohen claims that "the fact that this is a new and developing city that offers reasonable apartment prices is the main reason for the increase in population."

Second in the ranking of the positive balance is Beit Shemesh with about 4,000 net people added, according to Cohen: "A significant part of the residents who moved to Beit Shemesh are those who left Bnei Brak, and found a housing solution in many new projects built in the city in recent years."

Third in ranking is Yavne with about 2,900 net people who entered, Herzliya fourth with 2,800, Rosh Ha'Ain with about 2,500 mainly thanks to the establishment of the new neighborhood Psagot Afek, followed by Tirat HaCarmel and Afula.

Sagi Lenchner, CEO of the Yanov company active in Herzliya, stated that "Herzliya is a very sought-after city that attracts a young and high-quality population thanks to the city's construction boom and urban renewal.

In 2021, about 6,500 people entered Herzliya, with a large part of them being residents who left Tel Aviv.

The incoming population are mainly high-rises who want to live near the employment area of ​​Herzliya Pituach, housing improvers from Herzliya and all of Gush Dan who are looking to raise the standard of living, housing downsizers from the entire Sharon region who are selling large villas and moving to large apartments, and young couples from a high socio-economic section from the central cities.

For the benefit of the residents who will come, the government must continue to encourage the field of urban renewal in Herzliya and produce more and more apartments."

About 2,650 people entered the city of Nativot in 2021 compared to 1,300 people who left - which places it in eighth place with a positive migration balance of 1,300 people.

It is followed by Gadara and Modi'in, which closes the top ten with a positive balance of 1,310 people.

According to Rami Zarfati, CEO and owner of the Rami Zarfati Group active in Netivot, "the data illustrate the attractiveness of the city of Netivot.

It is increasingly becoming a residential alternative for the residents of the center of the country, and as evidenced by the demand for it increasing year by year.

Netivot is an excellent example of the effect of the government's investment in peripheral cities intended for the establishment of residential supporting infrastructure, the investment enables development and leads to the growth of a city and the improvement of the quality of life of its residents.

As the government investment expands to other cities in the periphery, it will be possible to divert demand to them from the busy and crowded center of the country for the benefit of all parties.

In order for this trend to continue, the state must continue its investments and meet its obligations according to the umbrella agreements."
