A comprehensive study of Israel's electoral map has identified the strongestholds for both left-wing and right-wing voters, as well as areas with high and low voter turnout. The analysis, conducted by the "Madlan" company, examined voting results from the previous Knesset elections across 1,044 neighborhoods in Jewish cities, as reported by Ynet.
The Likud party emerged as the leading force, securing first place in over half of the surveyed neighborhoods (552 out of 1044). Its strongest support was recorded in the Shazar neighborhood of Or Akiva, where 58.5% of voters chose the party. Significant backing above 50% was also noted in cities including Acre, Tiberias, Kiryat Shmona, Lod, Or Yehuda, and Dimona.
The "Yesh Atid" bloc was the frontrunner in 355 neighborhoods, with its support concentrated primarily in central Israel. Ten of its top twenty most successful neighborhoods were located in northern Tel Aviv and Ramat HaSharon, where support exceeded 51%.
Northern Tel Aviv's Ma'oz Aviv neighborhood was identified as the country's most "left-wing" area, with a combined maximum result for Meretz and Labor, alongside strong showings for "Yesh Atid." Meretz individually secured first place only in Ein Kerem, Jerusalem.
Conversely, the right-wing and religious camp showed its highest concentration in Ma'ale Adumim (Mitzpe Nevo), where the "Religious Zionism" and "Otzma Yehudit" bloc garnered nearly 50% of the vote. These parties also performed strongly in religious neighborhoods of Jerusalem, Safed, Lod, and Kiryat Malachi.
The study also highlighted significant variations in voter turnout. Ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Ashdod, Bnei Brak, Beitar Illit, and Givat Ze'ev consistently saw turnout exceeding 80%, benefiting parties like Shas and Yahadut HaTorah. In contrast, the lowest turnout was observed in areas such as Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, where some ultra-Orthodox residents boycott elections, as well as parts of Eilat, Netanya, and Tel Aviv's Neve Sha'anan.
