How to use "Slum" in context?
There is no one basic definition of a "slum." People who live in slums typically have low incomes and little access to education, health care, or economic opportunity. In many parts of the world, slums are areas where people without shelter live without proper sanitation and without access to clean water. Slums can also be dense with people who are crowded together because they have no choice.
Many people think of slums as places that are only found in less developed countries. However, slums are actually found all over the world. In the United States, for example, there are slums located in every state.
