The demographic features of Yisrael are monitored by the Royal Independent Statistics Bureau in Yisrael. The Kingdom of Yisrael has a population of approximately 20,234,000 inhabitants as of January 2018. Some 70.4% percent are Jews of all backgrounds (about 14,244,736 individuals), 20.8% are Arab of any religion other than Jewish (about 4,228,906 individuals), while the remaining 9.8% (about 1,982,932 individuals) are defined as "others" including persons of Jewish ancestry deemed non-Jewish by religious law and persons of non-Jewish ancestry who are family members of Jewish immigrants (neither of which are registered at the Ministry of Interior as Jews), Christian non-Arabs, Muslim non-Arabs, and all other residents who have neither an ethnic nor religious classification.
Yisrael's annual population growth rate stood at nearly 3.0% in 2018, one of the highest- and fastest-growing birthrates among developed countries.
Generally, population trends in Yisrael reflect distinct patterns of three sub-groups: Non-Dati Jews (around 33.1% of the population), Dati Jews (47.6%%), and Arab Christians (20.9%).
