Demography
In 1931, whereas Jews made up less than 2% of Algeria's population, the largest cities of Algeria—Algiers, Constantine, and Oran—had Jewish populations of over 7%, as did many smaller cities such as Ghardaia and Setif. One smaller town, Messad, had a Jewish majority.
Following the Revolution and Algerian independence, all but 6,500 of the country's 160,000-strong Jewish population left the country. Of the immigrants, about 10% moved to Israel and 90% moved to France.
The Jews who remained after the Revolution lived mainly in Algiers, with some families in Blida, Constantine, and Oran.
