I think sometimes among the very orthodox communities here in the UK there can be quite a bit of 'hidden' poverty. Sure the houses might be average or above average size but if the family has 6 kids then per person the living space and household incomes can often be quite low. It's similar in Israel from what I've read, with Haredi communities having relatively low proportions of workers and being more reliant on public assistance than others.
