STATISTICS OF JEWS

By H. S. LINFIeld, Ph. D.,

Director, Department of Information and Statistics of the
Bureau of Jewish Social Research.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The article represents a thorough revision of the author's article on Jewish statistics published in the previous volume of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK.

All tables have been revised and brought up to date. In the sections dealing with the Jewish population of the world and with the Jewish population of the United States, Table X "Distribution of Jewish Population of Russia (WSSR) by Political Divisions" and Table XV "Jewish Population of Cities in the United States Having One Thousand or More Jewish Inhabitants," have been rewritten. New tables were added in the section dealing with Jewish immigration into the United States, specifically Tables XXX "Distribution of Total Number of Immigrants, Non-Jewish Immigrants, and Jewish Immigrants, Year Ended June 30, 1924” and XXXI "Countries of Origin of Immigrants, Year Ended June 30, 1924." And for the first time a table appears giving the Jewish immigration into the United States during the first half of the fiscal year last preceding the compilation of the Year Book, complete reports for the entire year ending June 30, 1925, not yet being available. This is Table XXXV "Number of Immigrants Admitted and Deported during July-December 1924." New tables were also added in the section dealing with Jewish immigration into Palestine, specifically Table XXXIX "Immigrants Admitted Into the Country, Classified According to the Categories of Persons Admissible, 1922-1924."

The special feature of the present article is a study of the Jewish population in the Union of South Africa on the basis of the census of 1921 (Tables XVII-XXIII) as an appendix to this year's article on Statistics of Jews.

With regard to Jewish population statistics, it should be borne in mind that the figures arrived at on the basis of a religious or nationality census are likely to be inaccurate to some extent. This is partly due to the fact that there is sometimes a tendency on the part of census enumerators to minimize the number of persons of a minority religion or nationality, and partly because some Jews report their nationality as that of the majority population, or decline to answer the question as to religion or nationality.
