On the eve of Independence Day, Israel's population stands at 6,780,000, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Of these, about 81 percent are Jewish - 5,180,000 are registered as Jews and 290,000 are immigrants who are not registered as Jews with the Interior Ministry - and 19 percent of the population is Arab. Jerusalem is Israel's largest and most populated city, with 692,000 residents, of which 464,000 are Jewish and 288,888 are Arab. There are 14 cities in Israel with a population greater than 100,000 and most are located in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. In 1948 the only city with a population greater than 100,000 was Tel Aviv-Jaffa, which today has a population of 364,300. Sixty-six percent of Israel's Jews were born in Israel.
