I'd say Wichita for their size and downtown areas. I always thought of the Central Valley area as the "Kansas of California".

Is New Orleans more similar to Savannah or Charleston?

Probably Charleston, even though N.O. still feels very distinct from the other two which are much more similar to each other. N.O. is surrounded by water in multiple sides like Charleston is, whereas Savannah is only surrounded by one and is in a more dynamic state with a better economy. Direct hurricane strikes are less likely in Savannah as well.

I would say DeKalb as they're both on the outskirts of (but still within) two of the country's top 5 metro areas .
