You'll probably do better in one of the major cities, which means Phiily or Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is 300,000, with a metro of 2.4 million. Philly is 1.6 million, with a metro of 6.3 million. Phoenix is a hair bigger than Philly, with a metro of 4.9 million, but again, it's a lot larger geographically. There's only one other city of more than 100,000 in the state, which could lead to a huge culture shock (my wife had the opposite issue, coming to Philly from Cochise County).

I was gonna correct you that Erie has over 100k, but it does not anymore.

Although if you count Beaver Stadium. There's temporarily 4 over 100k

Funny thing about Philly . It’s been 1.5 mil since 1990 .. for 30 years population is within that 1.5 to 1.6 mil range
