The Northern Samaria settlements are in two blocs of paired settlements:
To all intents and purposes, they are small villages, with a few dozen households. Their population remains small and stable, indicating that people have left, while new families have joined. The only one of the settlements to significantly increase its population since its establishment has been Sanur, which was originally designated to house 80 residents, and entered a second phase of settlement (~2003-2004), although it is still significantly smaller than the other three.
