State and national populations are INEGI's Encuesta Intercensal 2025 estimates for 15 October 2025 (the 32 states, Mexico City among them, add up to the national 130,911,314); city and town populations are 2020 Census counts for INEGI's localities, so Mexico City counts all sixteen of its boroughs, while a big city in a state, such as Guadalajara, counts its own locality and not the suburbs in neighbouring municipalities.
