that perfectly describes the majority of poor areas worldwide. in my experience, the reality is that most of these people will be insufferable low-class scumbags who pride themselves on being stupid and violent, and love gossip and feuds, and the local area gets controlled by a top family of gangsters
but dropping out of school at 16 to work with your relatives in a drain-cleaning business, knowing the name of every person on your street, and marrying a girl you've known since you were born is still probably a better life than the typically alienated middle-class one...
