Based on culture, architecture, history, ethnic groups, language, climate, and whatever other criteria you think applies.

My vote is for Cincy.

Cincinnati, definitely. Both have the same topography.

Cinci wins hands down. Similar architecture, more similar accents, similar topography. The main differences between the cities are Cinci was a lot more heavily affected by the Great Migration, and the white population is much more conservative.

Pittsburgh doesn't have much in common with Cleveland it doesn't share with any other city in the Rust Belt.

That's about where it begins and ends though. Culturally and historically Pittsburgh & Cleveland are much more similar.

Aesthetically, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are similar.

What about architecture? They're practically identical. Climate as well. Both are in the same climate zone and not in the snowbelt.

Architecturally they are quite similar. However...

Pittsburgh is humid continental. Cincinnati is humid subtropical.

Cincinnati gets 16" of snow per year. Pittsburgh gets 43" of snow per year.

No, it isn't. Pittsburgh and Cincy are both on the transitional humid continental-subtropical region.

In fact Northern Kentucky isn't humid subtropical like the rest of Kentucky is.

Where are you getting those numbers from, anyway? They seem off in both ways.

Whatever the case is, however, Cincinnati is not humid subtropical. Transitional at best.

Snowfall

Cincinnati is on the border yes, but is still humid subtropical. Pittsburgh is firmly in the humid cool continental and the northern parts of the metro area borderline cold continental.

Pittsburgh gets on average, the same amount of snowfall per year as Boston and is colder as well.

Wiki gives much higher snow totals for Cinci - 22 inches, and nearly 21 snowy days.

Of course, that's what was recorded at the airport. Maybe there are some microclimate issues in the area?
