The Chaldean-American Community

More than 160,000 Chaldeans call Metro Detroit home – and the number is growing. Chaldeans, the indigenous people of Iraq, are Eastern-rite Christians who speak Aramaic. In search of religious freedom and a better way of life, they began immigrating to the United States, particularly Southeast Michigan, in the 1920s. They have become one of the area’s most dynamic and respected communities.

Chaldeans are known for their strong family ties, dedicated work ethic and fierce loyalty to those who support their community. They are marked by a robust entrepreneurial spirit, particularly in retail. Some 90 percent of Detroit’s independent grocers, for instance, are owned by Chaldeans. Community members appreciate fashion and fine living and embrace the latest styles and trends.
