Saudi Americans (Arabic: سُعُودِيُّونْ أَمْرِيكِيُّونْ, romanized: suʿudiyyūn ʼamrīkiyyūn) are Americans of total or partial Saudi descent. According to the 2000 census, 7,419 people of Saudi origin were living in the United States. In 2015, according to the American Community Survey, 96,783 Saudi-born people were living in the US.[2] Saudi Arabia and the US have had important political relations since the 1940s. Population estimates are seen to have a very small diaspora, mainly because Saudi Arabia provides native Saudis with more than adequate welfare benefits, removing the need to live and work in other developed countries.
