Access to electricity In Latin America varies significantly across different income ranges. In 2019, more than five percent of the population in the lowest income quintile lacked access to this resource. In contrast, the same was true for less than 0.5 percent of the population in the highest income quintile. Overall, the share of Latin Americans without access to electricity has experienced an annual decline since the beginning of the century.
