I talked to one of the Fox sports announcers a couple weeks ago at a posh restaurant in Center City Philly and (no lip service). He said Center City is his 2nd favorite downtown behind Chicago, it wasnt always that way he said CC has improved unbelievably in the last 10-15 years.
That concurs closely with what other experts believe. 3 downtowns seem to stand above the rest. manhattan,Chi and Philly. I hear this quite often.
The extended Center City neighborhood has 275,000 people (Washington to Girard)roughly 6-7 sq mi and those people are among the wealthiest in Philadelphia.Granted the city of Philadlephia is not noted for their wealth but the population that lives in Center City tends to be young, well educated, and upwardly mobile.
Universities such as Penn,Drexel,Temple add another 100,000 students to the mix.
I dont think Phillys stands far above Boston or San Fran, thats an exageration.

Don't shoot the messenger.
Im just going by what the experts are saying.
I had an editor for a travel magazine tell me that Center City resembles the quaint European cities more than any other city in the USA. Would I make something like that up?
