Yes, because Clermont is not Orlando.

Maitland is clearly part of the metro, and there is no city in South Florida with as many hills. You are just wrong on this one...it is irrefutable. You are just looking to put your litte "Orlando, FL" stamp on as many negative threads as possible.

You must be the only person on City-Data that thinks Orlando FL is not flat as a pancake.

Not really. How about San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, St. Paul, Birmingham, Scranton, Colorado Springs, Duluth, Atlanta, Dubuque, Seattle, Portland....

I wouldn't say it's as flat as a pancake because it does have hills but I wouldn't call it "hilly" either.

Miami is extremely flat and is much flatter than Orlando.

Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Oklahoma City, come to mind. Also, surprisingly, Denver. Who else? What about Indy?
Miami is easily the flattest. Those first three metro areas you named at least have areas in the metro that have hills. Especially DFW, where parts of the metro look like Atlanta.

Ever been to NOLA? It easily ties Miami.

Forgot about NOLA. It does as well.

But I love the stereotypes on places like OKC, DFW, and Houston . People think the metro areas are all flat, when they are far from that in places. For OKC, you have the hilly areas around Norman. For DFW, you have Southwest Dallas County and pretty much all of Fort Worth. For Houston, you have The Woodlands/Conroe.
