Reply to comment by Jackdaw99 in [OC] Top 15 cities with the highest population density by giteam
Bnei Brak is a city in the greater Tel Aviv metropolitan area that is home to mostly Ultra Orthodox Jews. Being that it's mostly a low income community there isn't too much vertical building (skyscrapers are more common to high income and business areas like Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan), but due to their typically high birth rate (in average over 6 kids per household) the population density there is still incredibly high as large families share small, cramped apartments.

What you should also keep in mind is that Ultra Orthodox Jews cannot use elevators on Saturdays as that would contradict their strict Sabbath-observance laws, thus making building with over four stories unviable for this community.
