Deal is a borough situated on the Jersey Shore within Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The community was settled by Europeans in the mid-1660s and named after an English carpenter from Deal, Kent. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 900,[8] an increase of 150 (+20.0%) from the 2010 census count of 750,[17][18] which in turn had reflected a decline of 320 (−29.9%) from the 1,070 counted in the 2000 census.[19]

Deal is home to a significant population of Orthodox Sephardic Jews, mainly of Syrian origin. As many as 80% of Deal's population are Sephardi Jews, and the year-round population jumps ten-fold to over 6,000 during the summer, many of them Syrian Jews.[20][21] In the 2000 census, 16.4% of Deal residents identified as being of Syrian heritage, the greatest percentage of Syrian Americans in any municipality in the country.[22] Most of the town consisted of homes close to or over one hundred years old in the Victorian and American Foursquare styles.

In 2007, Deal was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 13th most expensive ZIP Code in the nation with a median sale price of $1,825,000.[23] It was also named the 4th most expensive zip code in New Jersey in 2017, with a median sale price of $1,207,500.[24] In 2019, PropertyShark ranked Deal in a tie with 94110 in San Francisco as the 85th most expensive ZIP Code in the country, and second-highest in New Jersey, with a median sales price of $1,500,000.[25] Then again in 2021, it was ranked as the second-most expensive zip code in New Jersey with a typical home value of $2,141,154 [26] In 2022, Deal was ranked as the most expensive zip code in New Jersey, with homes valued at $2,400,000.[27]

By the mid-1990s, thousands of Sephardic Jews were flocking to the town during the summers, and today, local historians estimate, they make up 80 percent of the population."
