A Survey by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) Includes Data on Living in Rehovot
"The average household expenditure in Rishon Letzion is the highest in Israel, with Ashkelon the lowest: NIS 13,329 a month compared to NIS 8,047 a month. But Tel Aviv actually wins the title for highest per capita spending per month: NIS 4,954 compared to last place Bnei Brak with only NIS 2,086 a month.
These figures were part of a survey released yesterday by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). The survey compared household expenditures of the 14 largest cities in Israel.
The 14 include the five cities with over 200,000 inhabitants: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Rishon Letzion and Ashdod; and the nine cities with populations between 100,000-200,000: Ramat Gan, Netanya, Holon, Bat Yam, Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Beer Sheva, Ashkelon and Rehovot.
Tel Aviv also led in the highest spending per month for eating out: NIS 486; while Bnei Brak again came in last with only NIS 58 a month.
For the most expensive expenditure a family has, an apartment, Tel Aviv was once again the highest with the average apartment costing NIS 1.085 million. Beer Sheva was last at an average apartment price of only NIS 440,000. Second place went to Ramat Gan, NIS 1.05 million.
The variations between household spending and per capita expenditures are a result of the difference in the average number of people in a household in the cities.
Here, Tel Aviv came in last with only 2.3 persons per household, while Jerusalem and Bnei Brak tie for first place, with 3.9 persons per household. Bnei Brak also had the highest housing density, 1.16 people per room. In contrast, the lowest density was 0.8 people per room in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Beer Sheva, Haifa and Rehovot.
Monthly rent varied from NIS 2,226 in Tel Aviv to NIS 944 in Beer Sheva.
An explanation for Rishon's high expenditure per household is the highest number of wage-earners per household: 1.6. Jerusalem, Haifa, Bnei Brak and Beer Sheva all had only 1 wage earner per household on average.
Rishon Letzion households also held the most consumer goods, with the average home containing 13 of the 17 products checked in the survey: 99.1 percent of all families in Rishon have a television, 91.1 percent have cable or satellite hookups, and 57.9 percent own a DVD player..."
