Actually, NOLA is not flat. It's concave.

I agree that you will find some hills in Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte Springs and other neighborhoods in north and west metro Orlando. As you move out towards Clermont and Mount Dora, it becomes hillier still.

The Fargo-Moorhead metro area is one of flattest areas in the country. Actually the whole Red River Valley is about as flat as it gets. The area is the lakebed of glacial Lake Agassiz.

Definitely the South Florida Metro, Chicago and Houston.

Dallas has a rolling terrain, not flat.
