Though Baltimore's 19th century immigration was mostly German, while in Philadelphia the Irish were the largest immigrant group. In the early 20th century, Philadelphia received a lot more Italian immigration than Baltimore did.
A good portion of south Jersey is within the Philly metro area. So, they are obviously tightly connected.
The main commonalities between Philly and Baltimore are that they were heavily industrial cities with ethnic European immigration in the 19th century.
Majority Rowhouse, with identical architecture in many of their neighborhoods, similar accents amongst people of European decent. Blue collar at heart.
Ethnically, Philadelphia shares more in common with Jersey city, Hoboken, Bayonne, Newark, Camden (of course it's the same metro), Patterson etc more than Baltimore or DC. Philadelphia is clearly more similar to New Jersey than DC/Baltimore and it's not even close. Philadelphia and New Jersey have a mutual large Italian population and large Puerto Rican/Dominican populations that live with Blacks cohesively which both Baltimore/DC do not have.

Why did you use DC/Baltimore and not DC and/or Baltimore?

Well ok. DC and Baltimore then. Even though they count you guys as one entity when comes to CSAs, I agree that they are two different entities. The bottom line is I stand by my point, Philadelphia is more similar to New Jersey cities than Baltimore and DC

I agree with you, but we care nothing about CSA's, we're Baltimore, and those people are DC.
