I believe the answer is:

slum

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hovel</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for slum that I've seen before include "Run-down housing area" , "Ghetto" , "Area of bad housing" , "Squalid and overcrowded urban area" , "Squalid neighbourhood" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Evening Standard.
