So for me, the flattest cities are: in no particular order: Chicago, Houston, Detroit, New Orleans, Miami, Indianapolis, and Columbus. Feel free to name more. For me the hilliest cities are: San Francisco, Seattle, Pittsburgh. Again, feel free to name more.
Columbus is pretty flat, although there are some extremely minor hills in the city which you wouldn't see in Florida or South Louisiana at all. So I'd probably say the flattest is New Orleans or any Florida city outside of Tallahassee.
I concur that Pittsburgh is surprisingly very hilly if you're not familiar with the city.
Denver is very flat. Portland is hilly, especially on west side of town.
Agree with you there that Denver is very flat. Othen then mountains far in the distance, its like Kansas. Although alot of people think it is some alpine resort which is funny.
Salt Lake City is half flat, half very hilly.
San Diego is very hilly, the devolopment is on the hills primarily, with open space down below.
Phoenix is relatively flat, but the northern suburbs are hillier.
Las Vegas is very flat
Reno has rather hilly neighborhoods in the western part of the city.
Omaha is very hilly. I got quite a work out when I walked in South Omaha as the streets are on a very high incline.
Lincoln, Des Moines and Minneapolis are relatively flat.
Fargo some the flattest topography in the world.
Colorado Springs has some flat areas, but some parts of the city especially north and west are very hilly. The elevation of the city is officially 6,000 feet but some of the NW neighborhoods are 6,800 feet elevation.
Cincinnati is actually fairly hilly, surprised it's not recognized more for that. Nashville's kinda hilly too, albeit not anything like the big leaguers.

Nashville's hills are fairly steep and big but I agree not like other cities. I agree on Cincinnati their city is quite hilly. Duluth, Minnesota is actually VERY hilly.
Parts of Kansas are actually far more hilly than the state's stereotype would suggest. Lawrence is a good example, with much of the KU campus being up a steep hill from the city's downtown.
As far as more major cities go, Austin is very hilly in many sections, especially on the west side of town. The inclines in many of the residential areas near the Colorado River are very steep, such as around Mount Bonnell.
Ues, eastern Kansas is vastly different from the rest of the state
