There were 1 million Samaritans in biblical times, but in recent times the numbers are smaller.
There were 100 in 1786 and 141 in 1919, then 150 in 1967.
This grew to 745 in 2011, 751 in 2012, 756 in 2013, 760 in 2014, 777 in 2015, 785 in 2016, 796 in 2017, 810 in 2018 and 820 in 2019.

Half reside in modern homes at Kiryat Luza on Mount Gerizim, which is sacred to them, and the rest in the city of Holon, just outside Tel Aviv.
There are also four Samaritan families residing in Binyamina-Giv'at Ada, Matan, and Ashdod.

As a small community physically divided between neighbors in a hostile region, Samaritans have been hesitant to overtly take sides in the Arab–Israeli conflict, fearing that doing so could lead to negative repercussions.
While the Samaritan communities in both the West Bank's Nablus and Israeli Holon have assimilated to the surrounding respective cultures, Hebrew has become the primary domestic language for Samaritans.
Samaritans who are Israeli citizens are drafted into the military, along with the Jewish citizens of Israel.

Relations of Samaritans with Jewish Israelis and Muslim and Christian Palestinians in neighboring areas have been mixed.
Samaritans living in both Israel and in the West Bank enjoy Israeli citizenship.
Samaritans in the Palestinian Authority-ruled territories are a minority in the midst of a Muslim majority.
They had a reserved seat in the Palestinian Legislative Council in the election of 1996, but they no longer have one.
