Mexico population reaches 130.9 million amid slowing growth and aging trends

According to the 2025 Intercensal Survey by INEGI, Mexico's population has reached 130.9 million inhabitants. While the total number of people continues to grow, the annual growth rate has slowed to 0.7%, down from 1% in the previous five-year period.

The data highlights a significant demographic shift toward an aging population. The median age has risen from 29 in 2020 to 32 in 2025. This trend is driven by a declining fertility rate, which dropped from an average of 2.1 live births per woman in 2020 to 1.9 in 2025. In Mexico City, the fertility rate has reached a notably low 0.8 births per woman.

In terms of living conditions, the number of inhabited private dwellings increased to 39.7 million, though the average number of occupants per household has decreased from 3.6 to 3.3. Connectivity has improved significantly, with household internet access rising from 53.9% to 75.7%.

Social challenges identified include forced displacement due to violence and natural disasters, affecting approximately 1.6 million people. Additionally, while 72.5% of the population reports affiliation with a medical service, approximately 20 million people lack access to healthcare services.
