The Jewish majority in Jerusalem, while still formidable, is shrinking. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, Jewish population growth in the capital was 0.9% in the year 2000, while the Arab population grew more than four times as fast, reaching 3.7%. This figure reflects natural growth (3.2%) as well as Arabs who moved to Jerusalem in the framework of family-unification. Among the Jewish population, natural growth reached 1.9%, but was countered by 8,000 Jews who left the city for other locations; 3,300 immigrants moved to the capital in 2000.
