2. they have about the same population, around 80,000.
3. they are the two most liberal cities in Indiana.
4. both vote Democrat by a fairly large margin.
Other than that, they are as different as night and day in just about every other kind of way a reasonable person can think of.
Bloomington is up and coming and has a bright future.
Gary's glory days was in the 1960's; but in 2017, Gary is pretty much a has been with it's future firmly rooted in the past, and today, the future of Gary (I would say),

Miami is truly an International city with a multi ethnic population that is perhaps only matched by Los Angeles and New York in composition by major cities.
Jacksonville is for all intents and purposes more an extension of the panhandle, Georgia and the regional South than it is South Florida.
For these reasons I voted for this State non-parity.
I would say Chattanooga is even more different from Memphis than Nashville is.

It could be said that Chattanooga and Jacksonville both have more in common with Georgia than they do their home states, by virtue of being right on the border.
That said, coastal Georgia (Brunswick / Jacksonville) and NW Georgia (Chattanooga / Lookout Mountain) are about as different as you can get within one state.
For NC, i'd say Fayetteville and Asheville are probably most opposite.
For RI, i'd say Woonsocket is much more different than Newport than Providence is.
