В Америке, думаю, трущоб больше.
думы на чем-то основаны?
вот, например, основания для дум о российских трущобах:

"Housing Quality
Of course, it might be possible that the housing of poor American households could be spacious but still dilapidated or unsafe. However, data from the American Housing Survey indicate that such is not the case. For example, the survey provides a tally of households with "severe physical problems." Only a tiny portion of poor households and an even smaller portion of total households fall into that category.
The most common "severe problem," according to the American Housing Survey, is a shared bathroom, which occurs when occupants lack a bathroom and must share bathroom facilities with individuals in a neighboring unit. This condition affects about 1 percent of all U.S. households and 2 percent of all poor households. About onehalf of 1 percent (0.5 percent) of all households and 2 percent of poor households have other "severe physical problems." The most common are repeated heating breakdowns and upkeep problems.
The American Housing Survey also provides a count of households affected by "moderate physical problems." A wider range of households falls into this category 9 percent of the poor and nearly 5 percent of total households. However, the problems affecting these units are clearly modest. While living in such units might be disagreeable by modern middleclass standards, they are a far cry from Dickensian squalor. The most common problems are upkeep, lack of a full kitchen, and use of unvented oil, kerosene or gas heaters as the primary heat source. (The last condition occurs almost exclusively in the South.)"
перевод вкратце - крошечное число бедных проживает в действительно аварийных условиях, наиболее часто встречающаяся проблема - общие с соседями санузлы - 1% всех жилищь, пол-процента жилищь имеют постоянные проблемы с обогревом и общим состоянием жилья (последнее - до 5%), 5% всех жилищь имеют средней сложности проблемы типа отсутствия полной кухни, использования керосинок и газовых обогревателей переносного типа.
