Yes, but a huge chunk of the inner city is still very healthy. That's very different than Detroit et al in that manner, especially considering how much smaller Buffalo is than most other rust-belt cities. It's core and neighbourhoods stretching to the north that are in good shape make the city feel much larger than it is.
I can tell you that for the longest time my impression of Buffalo was very similar to that of Detroit - run down and falling apart. Largely because that's what I saw from the interstate as I drove through. Once you get off the interstate and actually explore though, the city has so much to offer.
