In Minas Gerais, the municipal HDI was 0.809 in 2024, above the national average of 0.805, but there is a large internal disparity: household income per person in Nova Lima was more than seven times greater than in Monte Formoso. IBGE data show that 4.4 million Minas Gerais people had some degree of food insecurity in 2024, and the housing deficit reached 506,419 homes. Families in occupations such as Guarani Kaiowá in Contagem face precarious housing and difficulties in accessing food and construction materials. Experts point out that the improvement in general indicators does not reflect uniform advances in all regions, with 12% of the population of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte in poverty and 2% in extreme poverty, in addition to more than 300 thousand people living in slums in Belo Horizonte. The housing deficit is mainly driven by the high weight of rent on income, accounting for 386,025 cases. These challenges of social inequality, housing and food are highlighted as priorities for the next state government in 2027.
