I admit, randomly choosing 2005 as a data point was odd.
But giving that poster the benefit of the doubt, let's look at the numbers of the remaining 5 metros.
Detroit - 4,488,000 in 2005 and 4,313,002 in 2017 (decline of 174,998)
St. Louis - 2,733,155 in 2005 and 2,807,338 in 2017 (increase of 74,183)
Chicago - 9,362,080 in 2005 and 9,553,040 in 2017 (increase of 190,960)
Boston - 4,473,477 in 2005 and 4,836,531 in 2017 (increase of 363,054)
Philadelphia - 5,850,021 in 2005 and 6,096,020 in 2017 (increase of 245,999)
With exception to Boston, the remaining metros did in fact have notably smaller gains (while Detroit declined).
