Hello99: Well then they are dead wrong. TFR- total fertility rate is the most reliable method to determine the growth rate of a given population; a TFR of 6.8 translates to a growth rate of between 3.8 and 4.2%. Additionally, the many secular Israeli studies which all show the chareidi growth rate above 4% are alot more reliable than the avi chai study of a few day schools enrollment.

Daas Yochid: The Chareidi population in America may have a slightly lower growth rate than the Chareidi population in Israel, but this would nevertheless put them close to 4% annual growth rate.
