The differences in the United States may be quite significant, in the range of tens of thousands, involving both major and minor metropolitan areas."<ref name="JewishWorldPop2010">[http://www.bjpa.org/Publications/details.cfm?PublicationID=8075 World Jewish Population Study 2010], by Sergio DellaPergola, ed.
