The counties can't be compared as apples any more than the city limits. Cuyahoga County is physically larger than Hamilton County, plus almost all of it is buildable. Fully 1/3 of Hamilton County is rural and will always be rural due to the almost complete lack of sewers in the Great Miami watershed. Meanwhile, there have been sewers in the Mill Creek Valley for 100+ years, and the Mill Creek extends north into Butler County (and the Little Miami, which also has always had sewers, extends north into Warren).


You can slice these MSA/CSA borders to fit an agenda, but the bottom line is that the Cincinnati MSA is inching toward overtaking Cleveland if it hasn't already. If Cleveland somehow lands Amazon while P&G and five other big Cincinnati employers vaporize that trend could reverse but the trend lines put Cincinnati solidly head of Cleveland by 2030.

I think it all depends. Cincinnati being the "hub" for Wilmington is like Logan and Athens having Columbus as a hub. There's some merit to that. Cleveland is probably restricted to five counties, because Akron and Canton form their own hub that reaches out to the rural areas.

So, I think the answer is, as it usually is, "it depends."

It looks like Geekwire is looking for an HQ2 like amazon. Cincinnati is a finalist.

Akron and Canton are both satellite cities of Cleveland. There is virtually no distinction between Summit and Cuyahoga Counties in terms of them being a combined commercial center other than most of the shared populace works in Cuyahoga County. There is a reason I-77, I-271 and SR-8 are jam packed in the northerly direction every morning. The only reason the Cleveland MSA is limited to 5 counties is because it is much more populated than even a 10 county region in SWOH/KY/IN. They need to include 16 of them just to even make it close - that's 4,808 vs. 1831 sq. mi. or 2.63x the land area. It's a total BS comparison.

It looks like Geekwire went with Pittsburgh. Definitely interesting that Pittsburgh beat tech-havens Denver and Raleigh.

Pittsburgh's got the Rust Belt Recovery award and has for years now. Not surprising. White collar + education + low cost

Well aware that Pittsburgh economy is changing yet its population is still declining. Maybe it will start seeing a population + in the near future.
