The vertical differential (highest point - lowest point) in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) is about the same as Allegheny County (Pittsburgh.)
Both are around 710 feet.
The largest elevation difference in the city limits of Buffalo is only about 140 feet, but the vertical differential in Erie County (Buffalo) is 1380 feet, almost double that of Cuyahoga or Allegheny County.
I was surprised by Wisconsin. While researching it as a possible place to move, I was very surprised to discover that some parts of it has rolling hills similar to parts of Ohio.
True, it does not have anything even close to actual mountains -- at least, not that I know about -- but many areas are far from being "pancake flat" and some parts -- especially in the north, I think -- have more forested areas than farms.
Check out the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan, which actually occupies the northern part of the land including Wisconsin. (See map below the photos.) Granted, they do not come close to the Colorado Rockies or any of the major mountain ranges, but still -- a LONG way from being flat boring farmland!
Richmond, Indiana. You have Indy, totally flat. Dayton, totally flat. But Richmond on the IN/OH border on I-70 is fairly hilly! aka the Hoosier Hills. Hoosier Hill, at 1,257' is the highest part of Indiana and has 297' prominence - so a small hill fairly far above anything near by. It's a little dingily bit of the Appalachians sticking out into central Indiana
