New quality-of-life ranking places Kfar Saba, Herzliya and Ramat Gan at the top
The Central Bureau of Statistics has published a new quality-of-life index that ranks Israeli cities by livability rather than housing price. According to the report, Kfar Saba, Herzliya and Ramat Gan came out on top, while Jerusalem finished at the bottom of the list.
The index examined 56 indicators covering education, health, security and green spaces, among other quality-of-life measures. The ranking was presented under the headline “Choosing life,” and was produced in cooperation with Keshat 12’s “The 12th Floor” and Medio Real Estate.
The report, published on June 23, 2026 at 15:52, is intended to compare cities based on residents’ daily living conditions rather than cost alone. No further methodology details or city-by-city breakdowns were included in the text provided.
