Cleveland based on culture, things to do, and location. Both were major steel manufacturing regions that have since transitioned to eds and meds. They are also very white compared to Baltimore.
Is Atlanta more similar to St. Louis or Miami?
I was going to pick Miami, not because of the demographics but the fact that they are both in the South, growing cities, and similar sized metros with the core cities about the same percentage (less than 10%) of their metro populations.

Only thing I can think of where Billings has an edge here would be racial/cultural homogeneity, although Tokyo is less that way than anywhere else in Japan AFAIK.
Is San Juan, PR more similar to El Paso, TX or Mexico City?
I think CDMX as they are closer in size, and that they aren't in the Continental US. Also similar in architecture and culture being fully Latin cities.
On a side note I hear Fargo, ND is most similar to Tokyo, lol.
Anyhow, joking aside, is Atlanta more similar to Seattle or Detroit?

I'd say Detroit. Both are known for their large Af Am population. Is St. Petersburg FL more similar to St. Paul MN or Tacoma WA?

Great parallel here, since all three play second fiddle to the cities next door (or almost next door) to them.
But I'd say that St. Pete is more like St. Paul in that both are close in population to their higher-profile siblings and contribute as much to the metropolitan economies as their siblings do. (I'm not sure what in St. Pete compares to the Minnesota state capital in St. Paul in terms of significance to their respective metros, however. Maybe it's the local newspaper, which has pretty much replaced Tampa's as the region's principal "print" media outlet? Originally the St. Petersburg Times, it's long been considered one of the country's best dailies and is now called the Tampa Bay Times.)

Maybe this might seem like a stretch, but:
Is Denver more like LA or San Francisco?
Definitely Los Angeles based on lifestyle and culture. Denver and Los Angeles share big yoga, cycling, health and fitness scenes. They also have large Hispanic populations. Very sprawly metros and not as urban as San Francisco. Also known for um...yeahh..

Is St. Louis more similar to Memphis or Chicago?
I’ll say Memphis. Both are closer in size and have access to the Mississippi. Both also have great history but seem to have a large homicide/violence problem (not that Chicago doesn’t but statistically it’s a good bit worse in these cities). Chicago is just too big and isn’t really comparable to St. Louis.

Is Orlando more like San Antonio or Charlotte?
Tough one. I guess I'll slightly lean Charlotte, since Orlando and Charlotte have more of a skyline than San Antonio. And since these 2 have less of a Hispanic population, vs. San Antonio.
Is Louisville more like Cincinnati, or Indianapolis?

Is Louisville more like Cincinnati, or Indianapolis?
A bit more like Cincinnati, both are Ohio river cities with downtowns right across the river from neighboring states included in their metros. Both have amazing bones, character, and charm.

Is Wichita more like Tulsa or Omaha?
I went with Omaha. Their demographics are so similar. Is Billings MT more similar to Rapid City SD or Bismarck ND?
Phoenix. Although Dallas is also considered Southern like Charlotte, it is more towards the edge of the region with some Southwestern influences, and is also flatter and has more of a grid pattern similar to Phoenix, plus there's a higher Latino population. Phoenix also has several large suburbs like Dallas, whereas Charlotte's suburbs are smaller. Also, Phoenix and Dallas are both considered true major cities, whereas Charlotte still feels midsized. Charlotte's climate is also a bit more of a 4-season climate compared to the other two, where summer dominates.
Is Flagstaff more similar to Grand Junction or Taos?
