What is the most dissimilar largest city compared to their state? (bars, rank)

[Fawnnah]

Excluding New York City, which of the following largest US cities is the most different from the rest of the state?

Los Angeles
Chicago
Houston
Phoenix
San Antonio
San Diego

[Gaylord_Focker]

strange list, but I vote Chicago

[Bluefox]

I’ve gotta say Chicago

[AshbyQuin]

In terms of what? In a broad overall sense i'd probably rank them as such:

Chicago, Phoenix then Philadelphia.

[Joakim3]

Yeah Chicago takes this in a landslide

Detroit, Milwaukee, and Baltimore would be good contenders for "most different largest city in its state from the rest of that state" if they were listed. Las Vegas would also be up there

I think one could argue in some ways Las Vegas could give New York City a run for its money if they were both listed.

Surprised that Atlanta is not listed. In so many ways, Atlanta and the rest of Georgia might as well be in two different countries.

So true. It's almost exactly the same dynamic as Chicago and Illinois.

Is it? Atlanta and Georgia have similar % of black and white populations.
