If you're talking to someone either from or familiar with metro Detroit, say the municipality you're from. They'll actually have a clue where you're talking about.
If you're talking to anyone else [[while visiting a different city or something), just say you're from Detroit. Making such a point of saying where in the metro you're from looks petty and provincial and dysfunctional to anyone you talk to. Everyone already understands that metros have suburbs, that a lot of people in a metro lives in them, and that large parts of the city proper [[in any city) are ghetto and that you don't live in the hood [[unless you look like you are actually from the hood). If they make some comment or ask questions you can be more specific.
