Abstract:

Part of a series of reports based on information from the National Jewish Population Survey of 2000-01, this slide presentation highlights demographic information regarding Jews who live in areas other than the forty largest metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. The report discusses the population estimate, household size, age structure, socio-economic status, religious behavior and identification, organizational affiliation, philanthropy, volunteerism, connection to Israel, use of Jewish information sources, attitudes about Judaism, families and friends, Jewish education, poverty, immigration status, and health.
