It's east for Cincinnati. There are wealthy in-city neighborhoods straight out of downtown all the way to the city limits (Mt. Adams, East Walnut Hills, Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout) and then a string of old money suburban areas (Mariemont, Terrace Park) culminating in the quasi-rural horse country estate suburb of Indian Hill. There is quite a dropoff east of Indian Hill, though. It gets Appalachian feeling quickly as you get into Clermont County and beyond. Sounds like a similar setup as St. Louis.
There are pockets of wealth going north from downtown too (Clifton, North Avondale), and the bulk of the upper middle class suburbs are to the north/northeast, but it's not the same level as what exists on the east side.
NKY is kind of its own thing.
