Edit: Hmm, the problem is that they are comparing values with the entire country, rather than homes in the same city or region as those streets. So if a street name is more common on the west coast, it automatically gets assigned a higher value, even if its relative value is diminished for every area in which it occurs.
Ironically I used to live one block off of MLK in Berkeley, and it was quite lovely.
