Why is there so much separation in the USA between people who identify as "black" or "white" compared to other regions like South America?

It's the other way around. Low places are higher income in favelas and barrios because they're closer to public transportation, formal services, commerces and salaried jobs. The higher you are in a favela the poorer you are and the worse are the living conditions. For the lack of vehicular access and the chaotic nature of improvised construction means government institutions have a harder time reaching people there. So there's no service support, fewer commerce, lack of legal protection and you're so far away from the formal city that job opportunities are meager.
