Moving from NYC need opinions

Hey all

I've lived in NYC since 2008 and am moving to Buffalo at the end of the month. Right now I live in the hood-hood of Brooklyn basically in East New York and when my family in Buffalo says a neighborhood is dangerous I don't know how it measures against here.

I understand there are dangerous areas out there but would love a comparison to Brooklyn.

I'm looking at an apartment in Black Rock right now if that helps.
