Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Mexico is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. million residents · OECD regional database, population estimates for Mexico's states (from INEGI and CONAPO) · state data · as of Apr 2026.
