I can't think of another reason why it would drop. There isn't much housing in that tract...yet.
I wonder if you counted the tracts west of downtown and around USC?

Could it be homeless related? I visited Los Angeles on vacation last week (on a 3-day layover before Honolulu) and Hollywood is mobbed with homeless as is most of Downtown east of Grand Central. I couldn't even walk from the metro to the Last Bookstore because there were dozens of homeless and ghetto all over the street eyeing valuables.
I could definitely see the west side of LA's downtown booming since that area seemed very safe. But maybe there's some homeless/Skid Row counting effect? I walked from LA City Hall to Union Station on a previous trip and there are tent encampments all around there too.
