Yeah, the population stats are 8 years old as are the income numbers but along that same line the cost to maintain a team has also probably increased as well. I don't think a team's decision would be drastically different today honestly.
You could look at designated media area rankings to see how combing parts of Wyoming, Idaho and northern Nevada change it but other cities will have similar and probably better larger populations to pull from. A city like Raleigh, as one example, would be pulling from all kinds of medium sized population centers around NC, such as Winston-Salem.
