According to the studies, poverty stands out as a major problem, especially for the Muslim community living in the city's slums. Sixty percent of the 5.8 million people who live in the Old City do so in slum regions. Seventy-four percent of them are tenants, and only 26 percent of them are homeowners. Surprisingly, 38% of people do not have white ration cards, and in 37% of homes, women are the only source of income.

Sixty-five percent of families grappling with debts
The area is also plagued by financial problems, with 65% of families dealing with debt and exorbitant interest rates. To pay for necessities like food and medicine, many turn to private lenders for money. These lenders have interest rates that range from 10 to twenty-one percent.
Alcoholism comes up as a significant problem in the Old City, in addition to poverty. In certain cases, it greatly exacerbates marital strife. The question of "why does the situation of the Old City continue to lag behind even after the years of the formation of Telangana" goes unanswered as telangana gears up for assembly elections in the coming months. The BRS government was criticised by sameer Waliullah for encouraging drunkenness by indiscriminately approving the opening of wine outlets.
