Wow! That is really nice! The census tracts in that area are Over 80% African-American too. Something you just wouldn't see in upstate NY cities on such a large scale.

The closest thing in New York City would be Jamiaca Estates (Queens), but I think Sherwood Forest is nicer.

Not to be a downer but 435 houses is a really really small neighborhood for a City with over 375,000 housing units. Fewer than 1,500 people based upon current average household size. Slightly more than one one thousandt of Detroit's housing stock.

Well, Detroit is about 80% Black. It shouldn't be a surprise.

In Upstate NY, the closest thing I can think of is parts of Rochester's 19th Ward near the airport and Syracuse's eastern half of the Salt Springs neighborhood. Here's some information on the Salt Springs neighborhood: Census Tract 36.02, Onondaga County, New York - Fact Sheet - American FactFinder

In Queens, you also have solidly middle class neighborhoods like Laurelton, much of St. Albans, Rosedale and Cambria Heights.

Detroit, Michigan, Housing Statistics

Along with Sherwood Forest, Palmer Woods and the University District all touch each other.

In Buffalo, what about Hamlin Park and the parts of Parkside, the Delaware District and Central Park?

Hamlin Park is more of a Working-Middle class AA neighborhood, while in Parkside, the Delaware District and Central Park, middle and upper middle class AA's are a significant presence, but not a overwhelming majority. Most of those areas are still majority White.

Yes, they are middle class but the housing isn't as impressive as Sherwood Forest in Detroit.

True and I believe that Sherwood Forest is a historic neighborhood.

Is having similarities with Detroit something to be proud of ? REALLY ? Yeah. Boarded up factories, corrupt politicians, gangbanging galore, high rates of state assistance, welfare fraud, etc. DIFFERENCES. TWO DIFFERENCE. Detroit has a higher population and is on the leeward side of Lake Erie so it gets way less snow.

Oh...one more similarity. Both cities say POP. It's SODA nitwits !
