NYC is closer to Philly and Chicago than it is to LA.
LA is in it's own tier among the group on this measure.
No doubt LA's reputation for large multi-generational immigrant families all piling into a single SFH plays into this.

University students might be a factor for all three.
They're all relatively small central cities with around 300K people, and all are home to substantial universities within city limits.
Total undergrad students of major universities:
Cincinnati (U.Cincinnati, Xavier): 35K
Pittsburgh (Carnegie-Mellon, Pitt, Duquense, Chatham): 34K
St. Louis (WashU, SLU, UMSL, Maryville): 33K
