The Tel Aviv District (Hebrew: מָחוֹז תֵּל אָבִיב; Arabic: منطقة تل أبيب) is the geographically smallest yet also the most densely populated of the six administrative districts of Israel, with a population of 1.35 million residents.[4] It is 98.9% Jewish and 1.10% Arab (0.7% Muslim, 0.4% Christian).[citation needed]

Geographical distribution of the main ethno-cultural communities Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Central districts.[5]

The district's capital is Tel Aviv, one of the two largest cities in Israel and the country's economic, business and technological capital. The metropolitan area created by the Tel Aviv district and its neighboring cities is locally named Gush Dan.

It is the only one of the six districts not adjacent to either the West Bank or an international border, being surrounded on the north, east, and south by the Central District and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea. The population density of the Tel Aviv district is 7,259/km2.
