The suburb is heavily populated by Armenians as it is where most survivors of the Armenian genocide settled. Bourj Hammoud is an industrious area and is one of the most densely populated cities in the Middle East. It is divided into seven major regions, namely Dora, Sader, Nahr Beirut, Anbari, Mar Doumet, Naba'a and Gheilan. It is sometimes called "Little Armenia".<ref>{{Cite web| title = The cultural cradle for Lebanon's Armenians| access-date = 2018-11-21| url = https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/inpictures/2015/11/cultural-cradle-lebanon-armenians-151112073614211.html}}</ref> Bourj Hamoud has a majority Armenian population but also has a notable number of other Lebanese Christians, a considerable [[Shi'a]] Muslim population, a Kurdish population, and some Palestinian and newcomer Christian refugees from [[Iraq]].
