What was true about both colonias and barriors?

Both colonias and barriOS serve as residential areas primarily inhabited by marginalized communities, often characterized by socioeconomic challenges. Colonias are typically found in the U.S.-Mexico border region, lacking basic services like running water and sewage systems, while barriOS refer to urban neighborhoods in cities, particularly those with significant Latino populations, often facing similar issues of poverty and limited resources. Both reflect the struggles of their residents for better living conditions and access to essential services.
