This is true, but it's more fractal than that. You go to the most affluent, in your words "core" region like San Francisco, and you still find it to be bimodal: high wealth, high education, clean and tidy on one side, and medieval conditions just two streets away. Also, I suspect general health levels are lower even in the affluent parts compared to the rest of the developed world due to wide-spread obesity.
