Housing & Dwellings in Jerusalem
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Far more people live in detached houses in Jerusalem than in the rest of the country, where 100% of the homes are separate houses. This rural feel is matched by housing costs that are well below the national figures, making it a much more affordable place to live than the Australian average.
