Because all the homes in the burbs are owned and occupied by families. I don't know about your area, but in my area, houses are on the market for days, not weeks, and bidding wars are the rule. There are no rentals in many of the attractive suburbs around here. The rentals that do exist are also usually filled.
Secondarily, if you live in the burbs, you have the added cost of the commute. People already cash strapped can't take on those added expenses (particularly here, where the fares are going up 25% - the monthly pass is between $100-150 now).
