I don't know the answer but I do know that all the attempted answers currently posted get the basics of economics spectacularly wrong.

My money is on either this census data or property value data simply being wrong. Housing is a famously inelastic market and a 6.4 % drop in demand should lead to a double-digit decrease in rents and values.
