The original inhabitants of the neighborhood came from Hungary, and many of the residents who live there today can trace their lineage to Hungary. A major Hasidic group called Toldos Aharon has its headquarters on the edge of Batei Ungarin.

In 2008, the neighborhood had one of the highest proportions of children up to age 15 in the country, accounting for 51% of its residents.
