Dee, I don't think that it is probable to associate such a gigantic drop in the place number, for such a short period of time difference, to owner care and maintenance. That change would possibly be expected to be fairly constant or drop gradually or even fluxuate across the time line. I think this phenomenal drop is associated with other factors like quality control or quality of design.
