St. Louis. Both are legacy cities known for heavy industrialization and population loss. Reputations overshadowed by crime, drugs, violence and dilapidated inner cities. Very underrated in terms of built environment and neighborhood amenities. Both have slipped down in their respective tiers.
Louisville, KY
I'm thinking Cincinnati. Both border or spill over into each other's state. Probably similar culturally as well. Providence RI?
New Haven is another city with a strong working class, but is also home to an Ivy League.
Springfield, MA
Hartford, CT both are inland New England cities where black and Latino populations make up 60 to 70 percent of the population. Both cities have also seen population declines during the 60s and 70s but Springfield has able to come back from the dead while Hartford has continued to decline.
Now into regions of cities South Los Angeles especially south central
A portion of Oakland, CA (e.g., East Oakland) would be similar to South Central Los Angeles. Large African American population in both parts of the cities. I believe both cities have seen an increase in Hispanic populations in the last 20 years, or so. East Oakland has seen an increase in the Asian population also.
Next - Bellevue, WA

Sandy Springs, GA since I'm familiar with that one. They are both suburban edge cities.

Charlotte NC! Both great new cities with rich African American culture with fast growing economies in banking. Huge suburban sprawl. Very nice brick homes. Both light rail.
How about… Syracuse NY? OUTSIDE the State of New York hmmm…

Toledo, OH. Both known for manufacturing. Toledo and Syracuse share access to numerous lakes and waterways. Both have declining populations and middle of the pack in their respective states. Museums and children's activities are also a part of their appeal.

Winston-Salem, NC
Johnson City, TN is another city that has more than one city of similar or slightly less significance in the metro area. It's also not very walkable.

This one is tough, but I will say Chattanooga. You have neat, eclectic downtowns. Natural and organic restaurants. More progressive than most cities in this peer group. Both have attracted young people and service oriented jobs.
I'll say Buffalo. Metros aren't too far apart in population, are right on the Great Lakes, and both have some kind of rail system. Urban forms feel similar, with a lot of wood-frame houses. Both are also definitely Rust Belt, but less dilapidated and hollowed-out than a lot of other Rust Belt cities, and have the attendant large populations of Eastern and Southern Europeans.
Topeka, KS
