Which city has the taller buildings?

Building Heights
So, it’s undeniable that Minneapolis has the taller skyline. Minneapolis clearly has the tallest building(s) of the two cities, with a couple just under 800 feet, as well as a greater range of taller buildings.
Data is from the Emporis website: https://www.emporis.com/
Miscellaneous facts:
- This data is limited to only buildings that are 100 feet or taller, but some of the buildings counted may not have been built or are still under construction.
- Of that subset, both cities have about 400 buildings.

Distribution of Heights
When breaking down the distribution of building heights in 25 foot increments, Minneapolis has more buildings stretching out in the taller ranges (see around 500 feet, and again with the tallest buildings at 800 feet).
The average building height (solid vertical line) is also higher for Minneapolis, further giving credence to Hockeytown USA having the taller skyline, but not by twice as much.
