U.S. Jewish Population
Is Shifting, Study Says
New York (JTA) —
Geographic areas with tradi-
tional Jewish population
centers, like Miami-Dade
County in Florida, are losing
their Jewish populations,
while non-traditional areas
for Jews, like Dallas-Fort
Worth, are experiencing ex-
ceptional growth, a new
survey by various federa-
tions says.
Jewish population con-
tinues to grow in resort
communities such as Palm
Springs and Murietta Hot
Springs, Calif.; Port
Charlotte-Punta Gorda, Fla.,
and the Pocono Mountain
area of Pennsylvania.
But Jewish communities
in the older, medium- and
small-sized cities in the Nor-
theast and Midwest, in-
cluding Evansville, Ind.,
Wheeling, W. Va., Bayonne,
N.J., Auburn, N.Y., and
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., showed a
decline in their Jewish
population, reflecting a na-
tional trend.
The survey, titled "Jewish
Population in the United
States, 1989," has just been
published in the AJCom-
mittee's 1990 American
Jewish Yearbook. It
specifically measures
changes in Jewish popula-
tion counts between 1988
and 1989, but is designed to
reflect overall trends in Jew-
ish population.
The survey found that the
total Jewish population in
the United States in 1989
was approximately
5,941,000, a figure nearly
identical to that of the
previous year's figure of
5,935,000. The figure repre-
sents 2.5 percent of the
overall U.S. population.
The study found that the
Jewish population of
Greater Miami- Dade Coun-
ty area, which has been
thought of as a Jewish
stronghold, decreased by 5
percent, representing a loss
of 12,000 people.
"The Jewish population
here is in decline as a result
of it being inordinately el-
derly, and the fact that it is
not being replaced by what
was historically an annual
immigration taking its
place," said Myron Brodie,
executive director of the
Greater Miami Jewish Fed-
eration.
New retirees are now settl-
ing further north in Florida
in Broward and Palm Beach
counties, Mr. Brodie said,
adding that demographers
predict that the Jewish
population of Miami will
slide until the mid-1990s
and then stabilize.
Mr. Brodie said that
despite the drop in overall
numbers, there is a strong
core of younger Jewish
Miami residents.
In Dallas, meanwhile, the
Jewish population count
grew by nearly 39 percent,
from 24,500 to 34,000, while
Fort Worth grew by 900 to a
population of 5,000.
Newcomers to the Jewish
community are "young peo-
ple mainly from the Midwest
and Northeast," said Bruce
Schlosberg, executive direc-
tor of the Jewish Federation
of Fort Worth and Tarrant
County.
While the oil economy is
down, Dallas-Fort Worth is
experiencing a boom because
a number of major com-
panies, including Exxon and
American Airlines, recently
moved their headquarters to
the area, Mr. Schlosberg
said, and medical facilities
have also been expanding in
the area.
While some of the Jewish
newcomers are affiliating
with Jewish institutions, he
said, "most are not."
"It is our challenge, like
any other Jewish commun-
ity, to try and bring these
people in," Mr. Schlosberg
said.
Among those areas
specifically cited as ex-
hibiting the most significant
growth in absolute numbers
were the Norfolk-Virginia
Beach, Va., area, up 3,000 to
a Jewish population estimate
of 18,000; Atlanta, up 40,000
to 60,000; Raleigh, N.C., up
1,125 to 2,500; andSavannah
Ga., up 250 to 2,750.
One of the authors of the
American Jewish Yearbook
article, Dr. Barry Kosmin of
the North American Data
Bank, warned that counting
Jewish population "is not an
exact science," which can be
influenced heavily by collec-
tion procedures.
"In most cases where a
figure differs from that
shown last year, the increase
or decrease did not come
about in one year but oc-
curred over a period of
time,"Dr. Kosmin said.
The study does not take
into account the recent in-
flux of Soviet Jewish
emigrants, because it mea-
sured changes in Jewish
population surveys between
1988 and 1989, just prior to
when the large-scale Soviet
