Actually neither happened. Boston did not move down the food chain - the metro population went up by 130,000 and the rank (#8) was unchanged, as noted.
Dallas-Forth Worth (#6-#5) moved ahead of Philadelphia (#5-#6). Washington DC moved ahead of Boston (#9-#7), but Detroit (#7-#10) fell behind Boston and Houston (#10-#9).
Ten years is not a factor in market rank. Arbitron revises population estimates every fall, so positions can change again a year from now.
