Which has a lower cost of living? Both are lower than average, but Dallas by only a little and Cincy by a lot. Cincy, by about 10%
So based on your criteria I'd say Cincy wins 4-1. Is Cincy a better city than Dallas? Maybe, or maybe not, but based on OPs 5 criteria it is. I you hate the cold and don't mind a hot, humid summer, then Cincy still wins 3-2.
Which has friendlier people? So we're comparing Midwesterners vs. Southerners. Hah. Not even close. Cincy, by a mile
Dallas is known for being the stereotypical snobby and pretentious place in Texas. They think they're up there with L.A., but the Park Cities (rich place) is only to the level of Orange County--the South O.C. in particular.
Houston is the complete opposite. I have to remind my visiting Aunt from L.A. not to put on her entire makeup case when we're only going to the grocery store around the corner or picking up the mail from my mailbox.

We don't think we are "up there" with LA. Dallas is more snobby but Houston is more pretentious.
Eh, Austin and Dallas are the most snobby and pretentious places in Texas by far. Houston is defiantly more laid back for sure.
I disagree.Dallas definitely has more of an obsession with wealth while Houston has a more inflated sense of importance. You can be pretentious or snobby without being the other.
Easily Cincinnati. The nearby nature, the parks, the lively arts community, the relatively mild weather, the close proximity to other cites and destinations, and the fact that I just don't want to spend more of my life sitting in traffic. Kudos to Dallas for being a huge economic engine. Still, my preference is Cincy and the quality of life found there.

Houston isn't part of the thread but I absolutely disagree with you on Houston being pretentious. Dallas is indeed more pretentious.
