(And what am I referring to with that description of the two cities?)
I'd rather live in Charlottesville as I prefer its scenic setting with easy excursions to natural solitude.
As for your description, I'm not sure. Both cities are home to their respective state's flagship university, and C'ville is the home of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's estate; but I'm not sure if either of those things have anything to do with it.

Huntington Park, California or Hialeah, Florida?
Huntington Park. Since I worry I'd have to be knowledgeable in Spanish, to even live in Hialeah. That'd be too annoying of an issue, for me.
One more Alabama vs. Indiana comparison, of 2 industrial cities:

It did have to do with the flagship state universities.
The original, in this case, is the Lawn and Ranges of Mr. Jefferson's University, the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
The heart of the University of Delaware campus in Newark consists of low brick buildings (not all dormitories, however) arrayed in rows facing a central lawn that terminates in a domed building.
Same, by the way, goes for the center of the University of Maryland campus in College Park, with the added feature that the lawn slopes down a hill. I refer to both of these campuses as "UVa wannabes" for that reason.

Anderson, Ind., or Anniston, Ala.?
Anderson isn't that great, but it's nowhere near as dangerous as Anniston. Furthermore, Anderson is cheaper.

Canton, Mississippi or Canton, Ohio?
Canton, OH... by a landslide. It's a larger city that's less economically depressed. Canton, MS may have an argument as one of the worst places to live in the entire USA based on quality of life.

Canton, MA or Canton, MI?
This one is actually pretty interesting...when I looked up the economic & demographic information it was much closer than I thought it would be. Canton, MI has better cost of living, so I can save more. Both have access to cities (Detroit vs Boston). I think Canton, MA edges it very slightly for me because I'd rather live by Boston instead of Detroit, and it has better transit access.

Hamden, CT or Newark, DE?
Hamden because it's a little cheaper, and New Haven has a better job market than Wilmington.
Reno... I think the winters would be a bit milder there, and the air quality better
(except when big wildfires are burning in CA).
Laramie WY or Missoula MT?
Probably Missoula, seems like a great area to live if you can make a living there.
Buttonwillow, California or Fruitport, Michigan?
