Q: In 1976, 60% of families were couples with children but by 1996, this had fallen to 51%.

Hello guys, I've got a grammar question. I was having a grammar test and the sentence above is the answer I got. My answer before correction was "In 1967, 60% of families had been couples with children but by 1996, this fell to 51%."

My logic here was.. because 1967 was before 1996 obviously, so I should use past perfect with 1967 and simple past with 1996. I don't know where I got this wrong. Can somebody give me some explanation please?

Thanks in advance!
