Poor parts of the country also tend to have lower living costs. Supply and demand, if people tend to be poor prices will lower until demand is higher as supply of housing, the major expense, is fairly static. The welfare state will assist those with lower incomes also in the form of income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit if exceedingly poor.
