Maybe poverty doesn't get the whole picture:

Experimental games are wonderful tools for studying the propensity to cooperate in social interactions. The results showed that students from the highest quality neighborhoods were most likely to cooperate in an experimental game, but that median income had a negative effect. The most cooperative kids came from high quality low income neighborhoods.
The big missing point is what he means by a "high quality" neighborhood.
