The average financial income for households in Israel is 14,622 NIS net for 2013. This was announced today (Monday) by the Central Bureau of Statistics.
The average monthly financial income from all sources of income, including salaries, capital and pensions, is 17,712 NIS gross. The financial expenditure on consumption is 11,681 NIS. Overall, the financial income is higher than the financial expenditure on consumption, and it ranges from 5000-900 NIS in different cities.
The survey was conducted in 14 cities, and below are points of comparison between them.
In Rishon Lezion, the net monetary income per household is 17,786 - the highest income in the country. In contrast, Bat Yam closes the list with the lowest income - 10,519 NIS. In Tel Aviv, the monetary income per capita is no less than 7,237 NIS, while the expenditure is 5,822 per capita.
The percentage of people living in apartments they own is close to 70 percent on the national average. Here too, Rishon LeZion leads the list with 76 percent. Tel Aviv has the lowest with 46 percent.
The highest apartment rent is in Tel Aviv, where rent for an apartment with less than 3 rooms is about 3,000 NIS.
And what happens to the Haredi?
The Central Bureau of Statistics examined what income consists of, and the results are not surprising: in Holon, Petah Tikva and Rehovot, income from work exceeds 80 percent. In Bnei Brak, 21.3 percent of income comes from benefits.
Housing density, again not surprisingly, is extremely high in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak – more than one person per room.
The highest percentage of households owning at least one telephone line is also found in Bnei Brak - 88.1 percent. In contrast, the highest percentage of households owning at least one mobile phone is found in Rehovot - 98 percent.
In Tel Aviv, there are 67 computers for every 100 people. In Bnei Brak, on the other hand, only 15 for every 100 people have a computer.
In most large cities, there are about 80 mobile phones for every 100 people (of all ages). In Bnei Brak, on the other hand, for the same population size - only 44 devices.
The percentages of ownership of kitchen utensils are also reflected in the difference between wealthy Rishon LeZion and poor Jaffa, for example: 70% for ownership of ovens, and 92% for ownership of microwaves.
Bnei Brak leads in the percentage of deep freezer ownership – 42 percent of households own such a device, compared to only 10 percent in Jaffa.
What do Israelis spend money on? Well The highest percentage of spending on food is in Beersheba - about a fifth of total household spending there. In Haifa, Rishon LeZion and Rehovot, more than a fifth of consumer spending is spent on transportation and communications.
