Well, considering the point you just made, it does seem unlikely that he comes from a poor background. Unlikely. Even a middle class position seems to be stretching it a bit. There is slight reason to believe that Jaune might come from a fairly wealthy family, and the Arc name has at least carried some weight within the relative past. So, I'm inclined to believe that Jaune's family is either wealthy, or at least financially secure, upper middle class.

Vacuo is almost definitely out of the picture to me. If he truly came from there, then he would most likely be at least reasonably competent in a fight back in Volume 1. His personality would likely be different as well. Vacuo seems the least likely to me.

Atlas doesn't really have any points against it, but society there is implied to be heavily structured, militaristic, and cold. Jaune is just not any of these things, he can be a serious mess at times. Although, perhaps his family is, but I don't know.

Jaune did mention that his family often went to vacation to Shion, implying that he has knowledge regarding some of Anima's landscape, enforced by the fact that he carries the map most effectively. However, he doesn't dress very traditionally. This could simply be an Asian inspired outfit pattern in Anima villages, but until we see people in Mistral's city, I'm inclined to raise an eyebrow at this. And it seems odd that he never heard of Pyrrha prior to meeting her at Beacon, if his family lives in Mistral; even if he didn't watch her tournaments.

Vale is probably the most consistent, modern city of Remnant. Clothing style checks out. He decided to go to the closest Huntsmen Academy: Beacon. Check. Nothing to really mark against him here.

So, based on this evidence alone (please add on to anything I missed), I would say his family lives in either Vale or Mistral.
