Answer:

around 23-24%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the city of Rio, close to 1.5 million people – around 23-24% of the population – live in favelas. That's comparable to the percentage living in affordable housing (public, rent controlled, cooperatives, community land trusts and other models) in major cities worldwide.
