I realize the whole crime factor but is it more along the lines the ironbound section or more like the other areas?

That's the Spanish and partial Italian section of Newark. As long as you're one of those races, you'll fit in just fine. There are also african american's in that area, but not as many as in other areas.
It is not like the Ironbound section. The Ironbound section is very good as far as keeping their community in tact. You shop Portugese, you buy Portugese, you rent Portugese.
Branch Brook Park is North Newark and although it's one of the "better" sections of Newark, it really depends on the exact block you live on to determine how safe it is. Christmas Eve, a few blocks from Branch Brook Park, a store-owner and his workers were murdered - because the thugs wanted money. Who wants to live like that?
