Well, the difference between Miami and Cincinnati is that because of the VRA requirements for the former, you have all those crazy lines criss-crossing everywhere. Unlike Miami, Cincy has had deteriorating to stagnant growth over the past several decades, hence my comment that for a city (not under the VRA requirements) of less than 300k having two city-based members is unusual. I’m rather surprised the urban-based Wenstrup was able to win when you consider Schmidt hailed from the suburban section of the district (I’ve not seen the new lines, so I don’t know how much of urban Cincy is in the redrawn 2nd). Of course, when Cincy was a much larger city of over 500k, it used to have 2 members entirely within the city boundaries.
I think that OH-02 now has more of Cinci than it used to (so as to shore up the OH-01 a bit), but Schmidt usually ran well in the Hamilton County portion of the CD (her home is just across the Cleburne County line). Schmidt was usually weakest in the rural counties closer to Portsmouth than Cinci, and Wenstrup probably did well there despite being from Cinci. In the end, though, Wenstrum won on the issues (cutting government, etc.), not due to geography.
