I have seen (not experienced) the rural kind of, my frequent references to village houses allude to that. I don't know about urban poverty where people don't even have a vegetable garden.
Well, poverty is not correctly measured by money alone. If the land outside the city is cheaper, and you can grow your own vegetables in the garden, you need less cash to live at the same level of comfort.
You usually have less options outside the city, especially less of those options that you or me would consider important, but many people are okay with such life.
A poor rural person could be one who doesn't own a house and a garden. Probably not too happy.
