Why is the reported average indebtedness of medical school graduates so low?

For example NYU grads have an average indebtedness of 160k while the estimated cost of attendance is nearly 320k (and even more with interest!!)

Does the average med student who goes to NYU really have 160k in savings or from family support?

These low numbers hold true for almost all medical schools.

Edit: I meant to post this in the general premed forums. @WedgeDawg help me move it over?
