How Safe is Black Rock?

This is a current crime map for the City of Buffalo.  It's from www.crimereports.com.  The neighborhood where the Dayton House is located falls within the area circled.  We are often derided for the "safety" of where we live when in reality, this is the quietest city neighborhood we've ever resided in.  Yes, sometimes a noisy tenant moves on to the street and causes a temporary disruption -- but the block where the house sits is largely owner occupied.  It has never been burglarized.

Other more "in demand" sections of the city boast "better" neighborhoods -- but they aren't necessarily safer.  The crime map above shows a low density of crimes for the Dearborn St. section of the city.

From the Home Finder website.

This is no anomaly and the website capture didn't occur on a slow crime day.  This is just the way it normally is.
