3. POOR MEXICO Most of the poor New Mexicans
Have recently moved there. It is typical of them to not have any
Electricity, water, or jobs.
Their living conditions are usually
Not the best, since their homes
Are usually not even real homes
With actual roofs, or windows.
These places are typically called
“The Slums” & the people are
Known as have nots.

4. RICH MEXICO The upper and middle Class of New Mexico
Live much better then
Those in the Slums.
Middle Class usually
Live in apartments or
condos, and work in education, business,
Or government. Upper
Class are mostly working
In or are leaders of
Business and
Government. They hire
The poor often.
They usually live in luxurious
Living conditions & are known
As “Haves”.

5. POOR DETROIT The poor people of Detroit Have a much different
Situation then the poor
In New Mexico.
The poor of Detroit actually
Have homes (not very nice
Homes, but..) which usually
Have electricity, running
Water, and slightly
Substantial roofs.
The problem they face,
However Is paying for
those services. A lot of the time poor people In Detroit can’t afford to pay
Those bills to keep those things
Like electricity and water.

6. RICH DETROIT Even thought Detroit Is not seen in the
Best of conditions, homes like these are
Actually in very good
Conditions and are
Sold for a lot of
Money. Unfortunately,
The rich homes of
Detroit are not often
Thought of because of
How much attention
Is brought to the
Harder parts of
Detroit.
