Jewish locality
A Jewish locality 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. The Central Bureau of Statistics divides them into two types by population; 2,000–4,999 residents and 5,000–9,999 residents.
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.List of Jewish localities
