(as the fastest growing of the 3, columbus has almost certainly closed this gap a bit over the past 9 years)

cincinnati: 2,190,209

cincy is either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd depending on metric.
in reality, these three cities are all extremely comparable to each other size-wise, which is pretty remarkable.
cleveland only jumps way ahead at the CSA level because it pulls in Akron and Canton, roughly 30 and 50 miles south of the city.
i can't think of another state whose 3 alpha cities are all that closely bunched together size-wise at the MSA level.

South Carolina, on a smaller scale:
By city limits (2018):
Charleston: 136,208
Columbia: 133,451
Greenville: 68,563
By urban area (2010):
Columbia: 549,777
Charleston: 548,404
Greenville: 400,492
By MSA (2018):
Greenville: 906,626
Columbia: 832,666
Charleston: 787,643
By CSA (2018):
Greenville: 1,478,658
Columbia: 958,120
Charleston: 784,376
Like Cleveland, Greenville jumps far ahead on CSA because of the addition of Spartanburg. Funnily enough, Myrtle Beach is catching up fast to the other three.
