==Demography== [[File:ืืขืจ ืงืืืืชื ืคืกืืช ืืื ื ืืื ืืขืง ืืืจืืื - ืคืืจืืืจ 2019-1000.jpg|thumb|Neve Yaakov forest]] In 1982, Kiryat Kaminetz, a housing development on the eastern edge of Neve Yaakov named for the Jewish community of [[Kamyanyets|Kamenets]], [[Poland]] destroyed in the [[Holocaust]], was built on the eastern side of the existing neighborhood. Several hundred apartments were populated by young, [[Haredi Judaism|Haredi]] Jewish families, many of them from English-speaking countries. In 1992, 700 new apartments were added to Kiryat Kaminetz on the eastern slope of the mountain; this new neighborhood is also known as Neve Yaakov Mizrach (Neve Yaakov East). The latter has a high concentration of [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidic]] and [[Sephardic Haredim|Sephardic Haredi]] families, with a variety of schools and [[synagogue]]s serving each population. The Haredi character of the neighborhood has expanded further since 2004 with an influx of newlywed couples, both Israeli-born and immigrants from English-speaking countries, to the older sections of Neve Yaakov. This new trend has been characterized by calling the older section the ''Mitchared'' (literally, "Haredization"). In 2009 the Haredi presence in Neve Yaakov was estimated at 900 families.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=33755 |title=N'vei Yaakov's Rolling Shul a Possible Solution |last=Spira |first=Yechiel|work=[[Yeshiva World News]] |date=3 May 2009|access-date=24 May 2009}}</ref> Figures as of January 2016 from the [[Jerusalem Municipality]] showed a total population of 24,225, of which nearly half are under the age of 21.

The 2016 figures cite 91 percent as being enrolled in Haredi kindergartens. In the elementary school system, 86 percent of children are enrolled in Haredi schools.<ref name=muni/>
