Another thing I wonder about residents of all these four cities:

When you hear a foreign European-language accent, is it more likely that you assume said person is a tourist/expat, or a "local" who immigrated but is actually a resident of the city, or has been for a while?

Does the answer differ widely among the four cities?
In Toronto and Montreal, a local.

In NYC, a tourist/expat in Manhattan, a local in the outer boroughs.

Chicago - don't know.
