You have a pretty good point about "low lifes" setting up in abandoned, ruined towns. After all, we saw evidence of that, with the sign pointing to Kuroyuri having "BANDITS" spraypainted on it in the finale.

Though, Nora absolutely did not grow up in Kuroyuri and may not be from Anima at all. One of the boys who was bullying her said "Where'd she come from? She's dressed all weird!" His question implies that she's not from Kuroyuri. The fact that her style of clothing is considered "weird" implies that she may not be from Anima. Anima's culture, architecture, and style of clothing have a lot of influences from eastern cultures of our world. Nora's clothing style was not eastern in the least.
