08.03.22  New York - Largest Jewish colony outside Israel
New York (particularly New York City and its surrounding areas) has the highest density and overall number of Jewish synagogues anywhere in the world outside of Israel.
https://www.ynetnews.com/magazine/article/b1lb2sw65

2009 - Brooklyn neighborhoods like Borough Park stand out for extreme local density. These areas have one of the highest concentrations of Orthodox Jews outside Israel, with hundreds of synagogues, yeshivas, and kosher establishments packed into a relatively small space. One study mapped 268 synagogues in Brooklyn alone (along with 154 yeshivas). 
https://msaag.aag.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/9_GALLAGHER.pdf

Per-capita and spatial density: Ultra-Orthodox areas (e.g., Borough Park, Crown Heights, Williamsburg, and nearby Kiryas Joel) have exceptionally high synagogue density due to high birth rates, strong synagogue attendance (often 95%+ membership/regular attendance in these communities), and the need for multiple small shteiblach (small prayer houses) and larger synagogues serving specific Hasidic groups. Borough Park, for example, has ~100,000+ Jews in a compact area with very high organizational density.
