Obviously tongue in cheek, but I would say, generally speaking, reads about 20 years out-of-date, at least with the areas I'm most familiar with.
Thats funny hope you dont mind if i share this
The most insulting thing about the map is that it doesn't include Downriver.
I'll give the author credit though; he/she generally knows the localized variations. For the Bloomfields, for instance, they got the Jewish part, the more Republican part, and the perceived highest class part.
What's with Steve Urkel for Oak Park and formerly rural for Farmington? I guess they got bored?
If I remember right, these are created by skimming through posts on various websites and labeling cities with the most common terms, which is why it may be out of date or Steve Urkel might come up for Oak Park.
For Farmington Hills they should say "corporate transfers doing their time in "Detroit"
Pretty accurate, lol...
What exactly is the point in this post?
Judgemental maps has become pretty popular website, people submit humorous maps that stereotype the various parts of their city.

I know what a judgmental map is. My question was what is the point in posting it here. Most people don't need a map to be judgmental.

I chuckled.
"Poor strippers" in Warren. Okay, but "rich strippers" in Utica or west of Utica? That makes no sense at all. What am I missing?
To be blunt, Macomb has a [[probably unfair) rep. for being somewhat more trashy and tacky than the average county. So the "poor" [[enter unsavory profession) would live in South Warren [[aka Macomb's ghetto) and the "rich" [[enter unsavory profession) would live in "Utica" [[really the townships north of Hall Rd.).
I mean, it's all a joke. You really think there are meth labs everywhere in western Oakland County, or "teeth optional" in Waterford? It's just wild exaggerations; you'll find 500k McMansions, not meth labs, in far western Oakland County. Waterford, on the other hand...
So, Bham, know any nice nannies out your way? I want some phone numbers...
I just noticed the "Outstanding Falafel" label is a weird one. I don't think 8 Mile Road around Livonia/Farmington has a Middle Eastern community. It's mostly working class whites, in that Clarenceville area.
