Dix St. Neighborhood (Detroit)


Being the "downtown" of the largest concentration of Arabs in the United States, this area is occasionally called "America's Little Baghdad". If you ever wondered what a peaceful Baghdad might look like, venture here as this is a very good representation! The majority of media reports on Arab American insight are done from here.

This is not actually true. The area inaccurately referred to as Little Baghdad is actually in Dearborn not Detroit, has a predominantly Yemeni not Iraqi population, and is much smaller than indicated.
Unless the person is referring to all of Dearborn than the area is mislocated and larger but is still not only Iraqi.
Most of the area currently indicated is really a multi-ethnic district of southwest Detroit called Springwells Village. I will edit the incorrect labeling if possible after I contact WikiMapia for editing instructions.

a lot of eastern europeans used to stay in this neighborhood.
Mainly Romanians and some Italians.
