The neighborhood is among the poorest in Italy. For those born there, the probability of surviving the age of twenty-five is 40%. Endemic unemployment pushes young people to work illegally or—in most cases—to take part in drug trafficking: Scampia is considered Europe's largest retail drug supermarket.
