Location
There are up to 1000 favelas in the greater Rio area: 60 percent are in the suburbs, 25 percent are in the outer parts of the city, some are being built up to 40km from the city centre
Rocinha is the largest favela in Rio. It had a population of 75000 in the 2010 census, but that is now likely to be three times higher. The favela is built on a very steep hillside overlooking the wealthy area of Copacabana and Ipanema where many of its inhabitants work.
