Are you asking why they are living in their own countries or why are they living in big cities or poor neighborhoods?
The culture is different, I am from argentina, where people is very friendly and family oriented, most live around where they born, if they "have"to move to other city is mainly for work.
May be there are people that move only a couple of times in their entire life.
Sometimes the credit is very difficult to obtain and people live with their parents longer , try to do their own home or simply want to be in their neighborhood where are friends and family, Grandma is there for take care of the kids, they get together often for a bbq or family meal.
Is a conjunction between culture, economic environment, and opportunities, but this is not only in Latin America, I can ask you why american people live where they do? may be under different environment, economic conditions and opportunities they will choose differently.
For example I know several folks who live around Atlanta and are complaining about the traffic and expending 2 hours driving to permute, but they found jobs there and don't want to change jobs in this crisis.
in those conditions is a logic explanation.
Now with the rising price of gas , many are thinking about move closer to jobs, or to a smaller house, it is because the conditions are changing.

Because they were born there most likely. There are many reasons, climate (which can range) for cultivation, ect.
