You're using false dichotomy in a kind of odd way, it normally means that you have to choose between one of two positions or arguments, not that someone has stereotyped two groups.

I don't think anyone is saying that these classifications are perfect, but are you saying that they're not true even on average?

The dichotomy is poor="interior"=values community vs. rich=coast=does not value community.

Yes, absolutely.
