How do you define poor? Spending power is more important. The UK is a very cheap place to live. Yes there is a housing crisis, and fixing it will absolutely make citizens of London and the south east richer, but in terms of the rest of the country, it's not as crazy. Ultimately I don't think you can compare how poor citizens of one country are to another unless you factor in disposable income, and spending power.
