Los distritos de Merced y Carmen concentran una alta diversidad de dinámicas urbanas caracterizadas por procesos de densificación, informalidad habitacional, movilidad humana, desigualdad socioeconómica y exclusión social. En este contexto, las cuarterías —formas de alojamiento colectivo con condiciones precarias de habitabilidad, hacinamiento e inseguridad— representan una modalidad histórica y persistente de vivienda informal que afecta de manera desproporcionada a poblaciones en situación de vulnerabilidad.
Diversos diagnósticos institucionales y organizaciones sociales han identificado que las cuarterías albergan a personas migrantes, familias monoparentales, personas adultas mayores, trabajadores informales y, de manera significativa, niñas, niños y adolescentes (NNA).

In Tonga, nearly six in every ten children and adolescents (5-19 years) are overweight and obese, while over a third of the children have been reported to be anemic.
