Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am also fascinated by the varying population densities of cities.

I heard many years ago that Milwaukee was one of the most racially-segregated large city in the US.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm actually impressed that MexicanTown shows up on the Detroit map. I thought it was an exercise in hype and restaurant marketing. I can't work out Dearborn though.

From the Milwaukee map:
To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, and Orange is Hispanic

My neighbors are completely mixed, which is why I love my hood so, so much. I will say that they're all middle class, though - so it's not mixed in that way.

Dearborn has the largest Arab population in the US. I'm not sure how that is depicted, but from the comments and squinting at Google maps it appears Dearborn is not coloured in.

That's what I'm saying - if they don't have a color assigned for Arab (or Middle Eastern or what have you) a lot of the population in Dearborn won't show as anything.

I am ashamed to say I had no idea there was a large black population in Milwaukee. Was there industry that attracted people there during the Great Migration? I don't know a damn thing about Milwaukee, I realize.

They could be part of "Asian".
