Settlement population is left blank in some years because of changing administrative boundaries and neighborhood categories in the Statistical Yearbook of Jerusalem. For those years, the population is accounted for in the total population number by adding it to another settlement. Observations:* - Continuing expansion in Pizgat Ze’ev. - Declining or stagnating population in the older settlements of Ramot Eshkol, Neve Ya’akov, and East Talpiot.
