Recently due to unstable situations around the world, many changes have
happened quickly in the demographic of people distribution especially in
Middle East Region. Since the United States plays the lead role that made it
adopt the responsibility of reducing the size of the problems there in addition
to contain the refugees who fled from the misery life there, so it has become
necessary to conduct a study on the numbers of refugees coming to the
United States and their aggregation into the states.
In this summery it can be seen there is a danger indicator in some specific
region around the world (Iraq, Somalia, Sudan and Burma). It can be seen
constantly increasing number of refugees.
The United States polarize 70,000 refugees yearly, those refugees distributes
on the states. From the data which I acquired from U.S. Department of States
for the years (2012 2014), obviously the majority of refugees are coming
from (Iraq, 34%), (Somalia, 21%) and (Sudan, 14%) of refugees.
Distribution of Arrivals at first glance looks uneven among the States,
whereas Utah received (1085 refugees), while Texas received (7214refugees).
But comparing those numbers with the population of the states shows that it
is normal distribution. Whereas it ranges between (0.04 0.08%).
Utah received (1085) refugees in 2014, the proportion of Iraqi refugees is
27%. Distribution of refugees in Utah tend to be close to the center. Whereas
the majority of refugees concentrate in zips (84115), (84107), (84119).
