Dixon

From Rap Dictionary

Dixon road, west of Kipling avenue, is an area in the west end of Toronto, Ontario, Canada which boasts a series of dilapidated apartment buildings heading eastbound on Dixon road for approximately a kilometer. Four of these buildings, identical in design, are 300 feet long and approximately 20 stories high. Compared to some of the other high-needs neighbourhoods in Toronto, Dixon was relatively well planned with plenty of green space, a basketball court, a few small parking lots, a school on the northern border and some peculiarly placed higher-end condos on the northeastern periphery.

About 10,000 people (officially 6,700; lower due to under-reporting) live in these high-rises of which about 81% are visible minorities. The area has a strange utopia of the young and the old with 9% of its population are aged 0-4 years old and 9% 5-9 years old. 33% of residents in the surrounding area are African immigrants (e.g., Somalian), Caribbean, or African-Canadian while 57% are of South Asian descent. The average household income is just under $20,000, below the average national rate. The area has been claimed as turf to a relatively new set calling itself the Dixon True Bloods, many members are of Somalian descent.
