The wards I have been in, have generally done a decent job. I think a lot of it has to do with the investigators and new converts, who themselves are often from humble circumstances. The missionaries tract them out and the members (usually a dedicated handful) do a good job fellowshipping them. In my ward, the lack of cohesion is more young vs. old, apartment dwellers vs. empty-nest homeowners. You have the folks that are always there year after year, and then the itinerants who will be gone in 6 months, 1 year, 18 months. Even those that here just for the summer. It makes it tough.
