Iran not alone suffers from high unemployment rate but also the spatial distribution of unemployment rate is very solicitous. These papers with emphasis on exploratory spatial data analysis investigate the spatial distribution of unemployment rate in urban and rural areas with using data of census 2011.

Therefore results of this paper can provide context for proper planning in order to obviation regional inequality in unemployment rate in Iran.
