You haven't noticed the higher prevalence of drug and alcohol problems?
Teenage delinquency, gang violence, domestic abuse and neglect, gambling problems, drunk driving, and so on?
Not to mention, teenage prostitution and young pregnancy? General family dysfunction; most kids not even being raised by their mother or father, rather a grandparent or great auntie, who generally raises all the extended family's children (kind of like an orphanage)
You don't need to rely on your own observations of the last two decades of living there, many of these problems are more prevalent low socio-economic areas all over the world, as a matter of fact, actually.
