Brazil society: Rio de Janeiro

Understanding the Brazilian society is not easy. Let´s see Rio de Janeiro:
The lower class category also includes the inhabitants of urban "villages" that have developed in and around the business and residential areas since the end of the last century and which have to day been taken over by the favelas and lower class collective houses or temporary boarding houses.
Higher income areas are less conspicuous and their identification more difficult, since people from the income strata population are spread throughout Rio de Janeiro from suburbia to the more fashionable districts of the southern sector.
However, a few areas can be singled out, such as Copacabana Beach, further south in Leblon, and still further along the coastline to Sao Conrado and new developments in the recently-expanded area of Barra da Tijuca.
Braziian middle class apartment blocks spread all over the city and more are to be found in some districts in the northern sector, such as Tijuca and Grajau.This picture gives only a broad and rather impressionistic description of class stratification in Rio de Janeiro. The three-level division aims with a broader guideline as to the nature and location of the sample areas. These areas cannot include all the shades of social differentiation since they are not socially homogeneous as far as income and status are concerned.
The so-called favelas include human settlements with a wide assortment of characteristics, depending not only on the amount of public investment receivedover the last years, but also on building layout and income profiles.
