The ultra-Orthodox Institute for Policy Studies reveals that the capital of the north entered the list of the 5 main purchase destinations of the ultra-orthodox in an attempt to deal with the rising housing prices in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak, but also as an attractive destination for investment.
The northern capital is becoming an attractive residential destination for the ultra-orthodox society
These data are published in a new report by the ultra-Orthodox Institute for Policy Studies, whose data and research are relied upon in policy planning and the creation of work plans by, among others, government ministries and local authorities. The names of the researchers are Dr. Eitan Regev, Judit Miletsky.
The unique characteristics of the ultra-orthodox sector in the conduct of real estate is also reflected in the data of the latest report of the ultra-Orthodox Institute for Policy Studies. To cope with the increasing difficulty in purchasing an apartment, the ultra-Orthodox buy smaller and cheaper apartments and migrate to the outskirts, including the Haifa area and the north of the country.
This means a more extensive geographical distribution of the ultra-orthodox society throughout the country. In recent decades, the rate of ultra-Orthodox purchases of apartments in the central region (of all ultra-Orthodox purchases in Israel) has dropped from 35% to 20%, and in the peripheral districts (South, North, Haifa) the rate has risen from 20% to 40%.
A broader trend of purchasing apartments for ultra-orthodox young couples in the Haifa area is evident
Due to the socio-economic situation of the ultra-Orthodox public, ultra-Orthodox are willing to purchase older and smaller apartments than those purchased in general society. As mentioned, the housing crisis also affected the characteristics of housing in ultra-Orthodox society, and in recent years there has been a broader trend of purchasing apartments for ultra-Orthodox young couples in the periphery, with an emphasis on the Haifa area and the north of the country.
However, moving out of the ultra-Orthodox main cities and satellite cities is conditional on the existence of social and community institutions that match the characteristics of ultra-Orthodox society, and in particular the particular stream to which the housing buyers belong. For this reason, ultra-Orthodox housing purchases in the periphery are focused on cities such as Haifa, Afula and Nof HaGalil, where ultra-Orthodox community infrastructures have been established in recent years.
The status report of the ultra-orthodox institute for policy studies states that:
The establishment of ultra-Orthodox infrastructure in new concentrations in the country may create social conflicts between the existing populations in the same area. Given the continuation of the housing crisis in Israel in general, and in ultra-Orthodox society in particular, it is necessary to prepare for the expansion of the trend of geographical expansion of ultra-Orthodox society, and to be required to plan and prepare for the creation of public spaces adapted to shared life in aspects such as educational institutions, community services, and more.
Haifa is the fifth destination in the index of the number of apartments purchased by ultra-Orthodox
According to the data in the report, between the years 1998-2001, approximately 20% of all apartments purchased by ultra-Orthodox were purchased in the southern, northern, and Haifa districts. 20 years later, the frequency of purchases in these areas doubled, and approximately 40% of the apartments purchased by ultra-Orthodox in the years 2018-2021 are in these districts.
A surprising finding regarding the purchase destinations preferred by the ultra-Orthodox public is that Haifa is the fifth destination in the index of the number of apartments purchased by ultra-Orthodox in the years 2018-2021 — 1,825 apartments, compared to only 142 apartments in 1998-2001. A significant portion of the apartments are purchased as an investment and rented to the non-Orthodox public, but there is also an upward trend in the proportion of ultra-orthedim living in the city.
The average number of rooms in the apartments purchased by ultra-Orthodox during this period is about 3.5, but these are small apartments with a median area of only 61 square meters on average. These are very old apartments with an average age of 59 years. In Haifa, the conclusion is strengthened that although Haifa has become a major destination for ultra-Orthodox buyers, it is apparently mostly apartments for investment and not for living. The average age of the apartment buyers is 27.
The data is mostly based on original adaptations by the ultra-Orthodox Institute staff
Unlike similar reports on the topic of ultra-Orthodox society, which are usually based on a pooling of existing data and indicators, often based on surveys, the data presented in the ultra-orthodox institute report expands the knowledge base on ultra-Orthodox society, and are mostly based on original processing by the ultra-Orthodox institute for policy research team into data files administrative.
These files were compiled by the Research Information Access Unit at the Central Bureau of Statistics, and they combine real data from a large number of government sources, including the Population Registry, the Tax Authority, the Ministry of Education, academic institutions, the Council for Higher Education, Carmen files (real estate) and more.
The use of the administrative data collection makes it possible to reach higher resolutions and levels of accuracy than those possible in regular surveys, for example in measuring the percentage of degree holders in the population, as well as measuring trends over time in issues such as birth rate.
Without specifying a specific population, because there are several sectors of the population, over the years Haifa has become an attractive destination for housing developers in a low socio-economic situation. At the same time, there is a negative migration of young middle-class families who do not find what they are looking for in Haifa in a number of areas of life such as employment, quality education, recreation and leisure, and quality of environment and life, and therefore they leave the city for other cities that are growing.
This problematic trend has increased greatly in the last 5 years, during which Klish was mayor. This is another difficult inheritance we received from Klish and another cry for generations for our city ☹️
Woe! That's all we're missing! This is a sure recipe to finally bury any chance of a normal life in our beautiful and liberal city!
expel all the evading parasites from the country
In the historic city center, which was once an architectural gem, a certain community is changing the landscape beyond recognition. Magnificent buildings are divided and converted without permission, balconies spring up from all sides, and the face of the neighborhood changes without any consideration for the old residents.
At the same time, old public institutions, which were meant to serve the entire community, become the exclusive property of a certain group. Synagogues, which in the past served as a meeting place for all currents, are closed to traditionalists, and community centers, which were intended to serve all residents, become centers of activity for only one group.
It's time to put an end to this illegal takeover, and return the neighborhood to its residents. Immediate enforcement of the planning and construction laws must be demanded, public institutions should be returned to the general public, and it should be guaranteed that the neighborhood will be used as a home for all its residents, regardless of background or affiliation.
Disgusting people call themselves democrats. enlightened And all kinds of beautifying titles. Keep building proud same-sex families. And we fixed a womb from which poor woman a child and a dog will grow. And we will have six or eight children in 2015. You are on the right way out
I'm dying to know where they have the money to buy an apartment here at the age of 27(!), Technion students with degrees and jobs that pay very well are not able to scrape together the initial capital for the stinkiest apartment in Neve Shanan, but ultra-orthodox with four children "studying" today are swimming in money
If I were you, I wouldn't believe this data.
Come, Avrach earns about NIS 765 a month.
Jobnik soldier about 1300, fighting soldier about 2600.
There is no way the three of them will be able to buy an apartment at the age of 27.
The reference is (probably) to those who dodge both the army and the yeshivas and simply go to work and save from the age of 18.
How many Haredim are there? In my opinion, there are very few.
Buying an apartment at such a young age is a phenomenon in my opinion that is more common among secular dodgers or among our cousins.
Curious... the difference between the secular and the religious is that the ultra-Orthodox community helps a lot... getting loans and paying them back in small amounts... this is something only the religious have. And I feel your envy of them..they don't spend the money on brands and restaurants. They are satisfied with little and that's why it's fun for them..Repent and maybe they'll warmly embrace you too
Ahemmm
One of the unsolved problems here in our universe.
Out of curiosity and familiarity with the sector, I checked and found -
The parents pay them a considerable amount on average (300 thousand shekels) with this base amount they take out a mortgage and live very frugally to cover it every month!!!
Note that most of them do not have restaurants abroad and so on...
Where do the parents get the basic money? Mortgage, loans, etc.
This is actually the technical story
But really really
They have many miracles.
Just like that.
¨
Maybe finally in public parks in Haifa we will also hear people speaking Hebrew like they used to, sometimes it feels like ancient Acre here
They don't speak Hebrew. They only speak Yiddish
so true
Acre or Russia
With forgiveness from their honor.
Very scary, soon Haifa will become Tiberias, another city with high potential that was destroyed and abandoned because of the terror in it.
Between the ages of 18-21, the only place that should be attractive to you is the IDF bases.
Too bad. Until now, Haifa was a normal city, without religious coercion (see Bnei Brak and Jerusalem). Now it too will turn into slams and closed streets and ultra-Orthodox rioters in the streets because of the transport on Shabbat.
Welcome.
Just don't forget that this city is mixed and there are sacred cows that are not touched such as OT on Shabbat, and entertainment on Friday evening.
Abraham.
You live in la la land!
Round about your need!
God help you!!
In Gaza it is cheaper and much more suitable for them
oh blessed
Both Arabs and Haredim. God forbid!!
Insolent, why make wars and slander. Haifa has always been religious Jews, Arabs, secular, and also people without religion and faith. God should protect us from a woman like you apparently
This is the only thing we lack in Haifa
The report also states that in 2065 the ultra-Orthodox population will be 1/4 of the general population and not 1/3 as they had calculated and "feared" all these years and that there is a decrease in the growth rate of the ultra-Orthodox population and an increase in the number of ultra-Orthodox working especially among young people 48%, an increase in the percentage of the educated in this society.
There is a lot of encouraging and positive data on the broader aspects of the ultra-orthodox population that you could also publish here.
Oh and woe to us and our city is scary!
how do you say? Oh no…
Great, good news.
Jews massacred in Haifa.
We need all the ultra-orthodox couples in Haifa.
Zoya, who needs religious coercion that intersects with racism? Let them go to the settlements and continue abusing the Palestinians
At least get off Haifa dark ticks. You destroyed and suppressed everything
Why so ? When was the last time you had a one-on-one conversation with an ultra-Orthodox woman?
She is probably smarter than you, more educated than you and surely more beautiful than you.. So where does this anti-Semitic jingle come from?
And above all, why is she going out?
compassion..
very bad
Yona will do everything so that Haifa does not become ultra-Orthodox, our finger is for you and not for the Zionist who would make a deal with the ultra-Orthodox, maybe the pigs will prevent them from settling
Rachel what is "we fingered you..": Where did you study Liva? Like it or not, Haifa is afraid of beautiful, smart, educated and gentle people!!
And that you are anti-Semitic.. Racism.. For example, I am ultra-Orthodox by birth, have lived in Haifa for over 30 years, served in the army for 3 years + reserves and have a master's degree in mathematics.
Hatred will not help you.. We will love every Jew and when we are here, the majority in the city and in the country, we will treat you much nicer and with respect than your venom towards us.
Success for all of us.
Learn to write first...
Do you know that you voted for Zaatra and his terrorist party? Is it better for you than Jews?
Everyone has the right to come and live in Haifa, or anywhere else they want, as long as they don't touch sacred cows that are taboo. Just as I will not gouge out the ultra-Orthodox in their neighborhoods while driving on Shabbat, I expect the ultra-Orthodox to understand and not impose themselves on me.
No need to go beaten. What should be is live and let live.
Gave it to him!
Biased use of the title to attract angry reactions?
It was not possible to write, for example: positive news for the balance of immigration in Haifa or the residents from other cities who love Haifa and the like?
It's a shame that the system does not act more responsibly on the sensitive issues in the city, with all due respect to journalistic freedom and the political opinion of every reporter.
What is their religious affiliation relevant to this article and generalization?
When religious Muslims shop in the city, does anyone tweet or write such a comprehensive article?
Enough of the hatred and division within our people in the media.
Certainly in this difficult time the Palestinian enemy is fighting us on all fronts in Israel and in the world.
All the best to you Eli Plai. Shalom and blessed Sabbath to you.
It's a shame they don't take care of the secular youth. These mainly need jobs in Haifa and the surrounding area, which are reduced compared to the center of the country.
Finally we will have normal prices
It is a long process until the number of ultra-Orthodox people is felt throughout the city. Kalish certainly accelerated the process
Let them not dare to make Haifa ultra-Orthodox, we are bi-national and there is no place for the ultra-Orthodox to move to Gaza.
I think you should actually move to Gaza. Get along well with Sinwar. And I'm not in love with the ultra-Orthodox, but I detest anti-Semites like you.
In an article in The Marker in February 2020, it was written that 1000 couples (!) from the Arab sector move to Haifa every year and it is considered their Tel Aviv.
Here in the article the ultra-Orthodox sector was reported, but in my opinion this is a small trend that is reaching a specific area (mainly the Hadar neighborhood where there has always been an ultra-orthodox community and which is still considered the most unsought-after and shabby neighborhood in the city) and unlike the first population I mentioned that from what I see are buying and spreading in many neighborhoods in the city without any hesitation and not in the neighborhoods their traditionalism.
very bad. Seculars should not move to ultra-Orthodox settlements and ultra-Orthodox should not move to secular settlements. Oil and water don't mix...
This is how it begins……………….
Oh no
