Document 1

In fact, there are a few numbers of civil servants in Miller Town community. The town is also a quite low population area. According to the census that was held in 2010, it put the population of the community to be only 136 people. Well, with that small population, the community is evidently living one of the most salient lives in the Buffalo County. Generally, the population of Buffalo County is quite low, and the reasons behind this are explained by the location of the county and the general appearance of the vicinity. The principal reason behind this scenario is that people in the society are dependents on the outside environment for most of the work and revenues. Most of the residents in Miller work in the outside environment to gather for their needs and the needs of their families.

Job opportunities in Miller town are therefore relatively low. Majority of the people in the city depends on the immediate environment to get their necessary things. Many of the people in the are are the low earning families with average earnings of 3000 dollars monthly. There are enough roads in the area that can comfortably support the population and offer movement services from one area to another with ease. The fracture in the are is therefore quite commendable. However, there are no other forms of infrastructure that have been developed in the area. There is no airstrips and also railway connection within the town. Some roads are also impassable during the rainy season, and it does not support large trucks. In the entire county, there is only one university and one college.

This is an issue that should be dealt with immediately to facilitate the growth of the community. In the town, there is only one school that meets all the needs of the students. There is also no police station in the entire area, and the people depend on the security agencies outside town. It is, however, prudent to say that there are low reports on the crime rates in the area. The population of the entire town is quite funny. It is uncharacteristically unfair to men and women in the area having a lot of disparities. With all these features included, the population of Miller town community is wholly irrational, and many things do not necessarily sum up to the expectation of the whole Buffalo county (Singh p.

Out of the 136 people in Miller community town, it is prudent also to analyze the racial consideration of the entire population. The population is composed of people across a spectrum of races. There are forty men and twenty-six women. The general disparities in the white race population are because many women have moved out of the town in the last twenty years to look for employment and other related factors in the outside world including marriages and look for a better environment of doing and conducting business (Ginn p. One of the specific household un the entire population of the Miller community that I find it very interesting in the Factfinder profile is the family of one black man named John Duke.

John Duke lives with his wife and two children in the town of Miller at the lower side of the town. The family of four are generally business people with John Fuke working as a mechanic in the town where the wife is working as a hairdresser in the small town. This is one of the most visible challenges in the area. Majority of the children are forced to seek their educational needs outside the cities when they feel the educational institutions might not fit their diverse needs. Another common challenge in the Miller community town is lack of hospitals. Hospitals offer a wide range of convalescent, terminal and acute care by examining all the possible problems in the individual's bodies.

There is not even a single hospital in the town. It is an issue that has created adverse effects in the town as the people feel they are neglected. The poverty index in the community is quite high. This has a great effect on the people as they are affected immensely by the situation. One of the reasons contributing to this menace is the lack of proper job opportunities that can adequately support the community. The flow of cash in the community is also quite low. The community development project that will be ideal in the community to help it salvage itself from the poverty index is the building a hospital in the area. A health facility is one of the sure ways of getting back to live in a particular place without fearing for their health.
