In 2020, roughly 7.4 million inhabitants aged three or older spoke an indigenous language in Mexico. In the case of Afro-descendants or Afro-Mexicans, a total of 2.6 million people defined themselves as such.

Indigenous families in Mexico Mexico is one of the countries with the largest share of indigenous language speakers in Latin America. The number of indigenous households stood at 2.9 million in 2020. This figure includes all family units where at least one member or their ancestors declared speaking an indigenous language. Native ethnicities in Mexico generally endure higher and more severe poverty levels. Indigenous people are also in a more vulnerable socio-economic situation. For instance, more than 30 percent of the indigenous population in Mexico lagged in education, almost double the share of non-indigenous population.

Mexico's Afro-descendants Thanks to its millennia-long indigenous ancestry, Mexico is a multiethnic country that amasses one of the richest cultural heritages in the world. During colonial times, millions of slaves from the African continent were brought to Mexican territory. Their contribution to today's Mexican identity is sometimes overlooked. In 2020, around one million households in the country had at least one member who self-perceived as an Afro-descendant, or had ancestors with this ethnicity. Guerrero and Oaxaca are nowadays the states with the largest share of Afro-Mexicans.

In 1800, the present-day region of Mexico had a population of just over six million people. Mexico gained its independence from the Spanish crown in 1821, and population growth remained steady for the next 85 years. Growth then halted with with the Panic of 1907, an American financial crisis whose ripple effects in Mexico would set the stage for the Mexican Revolution in 1910. This revolution would see population flatline at just over fifteen million between 1910 and 1920, as widespread conflict and result in the death of between 1.7 to 2.7 million over the decade, and the coinciding 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic would see the loss of another 300,000 in this time period. Following the end of both the Mexican Revolution and the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1920, the population of Mexico would begin to increase rapidly as modernization would see mortality rates fall and standards of living rise throughout the country. This growth has continued steadily into the 21st century, and in 2020, Mexico is estimated to have a population of just under 129 million.

In 2022, it was reported that 17.7 percent of the Mexican population lagged behind in education and was therefore considered socially vulnerable. Among the country's indigenous population, the rate of social vulnerability for lagging behind in education rose up to 35.3 percent. The figures have been increasing since 2016 and the ethnicity gap amounts to double of the non-indigenous population educational social vulnerability rate.

In 2022, around 48.59 percent of New Mexico's population was of Hispanic origin, compared to the national percentage of 19.45. California, Texas, and Arizona also registered shares over 30 percent. The distribution of the U.S. population by ethnicity can be accessed here.

Updates data on the size, composition and territorial distribution of the population, households and existing housing in the country. Data 2020.

In 2022, it was estimated that nearly 57 percent of the indigenous population in Mexico suffered from social vulnerabilities due to their lack of access to health care services, while non-indigenous people without access to health care accounted for 37.1 percent. In that year, the rate of social vulnerability for lack of health care stood at an average of 39.1 percent at the national level.

In 2018, nearly **** percent of the indigenous population in Mexico suffered from social deprivations, while the share of population in that same situation amounted to **** percent among the non-indigenous.

The once-a-decade decennial census was conducted in April 2010 by the U.S. Census Bureau. This count of every resident in the United States was mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and all households in the U.S. and individuals living in group quarters were required by law to respond to the 2010 Census questionnaire. The data collected by the decennial census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities. The questionnaire consisted of a limited number of questions but allowed for the collection of information on the number of people in the household and their relationship to the householder, an individual's age, sex, race and Hispanic ethnicity, the number of housing units and whether those units are owner- or renter-occupied, or vacant. The first wave of results for sub-state geographic areas in New Mexico was released on March 15, 2011, through the Redistricting Data (PL94-171) Summary File. This batch of data covers the state, counties, places (both incorporated and unincorporated communities), tribal lands, school districts, neighborhoods (census tracts and block groups), individual census blocks, and other areas. The Redistricting products provide counts by race and Hispanic ethnicity for the total population and the population 18 years and over, and housing unit counts by occupancy status. The 2010 Census Redistricting Data Summary File can be used to redraw federal, state and local legislative districts under Public Law 94-171. This is an important purpose of the file and, indeed, state officials use the Redistricting Data to realign congressional and state legislative districts in their states, taking into account population shifts since the 2000 Census. More detailed population and housing characteristics were released in the summer of 2011. The data in these particular RGIS Clearinghouse tables are for all counties in New Mexico. This table provides total counts of population. This file, along with file-specific descriptions (in Word and text formats) are available in a single zip file.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, it was reported that 3.4 million indigenous people in Mexico lived in extreme poverty, while the number of people in that situation among the non-indigenous population amounted to 7.4 million.

In 2018, nearly *** percent of the indigenous population in Mexico were considered vulnerable due to income, while *** percent of the non-indigenous population were considered vulnerable for the same reason. A total of *** million Mexicans were in that situation in 2018.

Race is a social and historical construct, and the racial categories counted by the census change over time so the process of constructing stable racial categories for these 50 years out of census data required complex and imperfect decisions. Here we have used historical research on early 20th century southern California to construct historic racial categories from the IPUMS full count data, which allows us to track groups that were not formally classified as racial groups in some census decades like Mexican, but which were important racial categories in southern California. Detailed explanation of how we constructed these categories and the rationale we used for the decisions we made can be found here. Layers are symbolized to show the percentage of each of the following groups from 1900-1940:AmericanIndian Not-Hispanic, AmericanIndian Hispanic, Black non-Hispanic, Black-Hispanic, Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Japanese, Mexican, Hispanic Not-Mexican, white non-Hispanic. The IPUMS Census data is messy and includes some errors and undercounts, making it hard to map some smaller populations, like Asian Indians (in census called Hindu in 1920) and creating a possible undercount of Native American populations. The race data mapped here also includes categories that may not have been socially meaningful at the time like Black-Hispanic, which generally would represent people from Mexico who the census enumerator classified as Black because of their dark skin, but who were likely simply part of Mexican communities at the time. We have included maps of the Hispanic not-Mexican category which shows very small numbers of non-Mexican Hispanic population, and American Indian Hispanic, which often captures people who would have been listed as Indian in the census, probably because of skin color, but had ancestry from Mexico (or another Hispanic country). This category may include some indigenous Californians who married into or assimilated into Mexican American communities in the early 20th century.

In 2023, California had the highest Hispanic population in the United States, with over 15.76 million people claiming Hispanic heritage. Texas, Florida, New York, and Illinois rounded out the top five states for Hispanic residents in that year. History of Hispanic people Hispanic people are those whose heritage stems from a former Spanish colony. The Spanish Empire colonized most of Central and Latin America in the 15th century, which began when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492. The Spanish Empire expanded its territory throughout Central America and South America, but the colonization of the United States did not include the Northeastern part of the United States. Despite the number of Hispanic people living in the United States having increased, the median income of Hispanic households has fluctuated slightly since 1990. Hispanic population in the United States Hispanic people are the second-largest ethnic group in the United States, making Spanish the second most common language spoken in the country. In 2021, about one-fifth of Hispanic households in the United States made between 50,000 to 74,999 U.S. dollars. The unemployment rate of Hispanic Americans has fluctuated significantly since 1990, but has been on the decline since 2010, with the exception of 2020 and 2021, due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

In 2018, it was estimated that *** percent of the Mexican population with an indigenous background did not suffer from poverty or was not considered vulnerable, while that percentage among the non-indigenous population was more than ***** times higher, amounting to **** percent. The national average stood at **** percent.

Definition: Relative weight of a given age group in both sexes, men and women, for each population category (indigenous) Thematic Area: Demographics (CELADE) Application Area: Demographics Unit of Measurement: Percentage Data Source: CELADE (Latin American & Caribbean Demographic Center)- Population Division of ECLAC, on the basis of national population censuses microdata sets Comments: The processes of cultural assimilation, as well as the recent trends of ethnic-cultural revitalization, can have a differential impact on the different generations and therefore affect age structures, making it difficult to quantify the effect of these phenomena. For example, the narrowing of a population pyramid in the young-adult ages (reducing the base and widening the center) is probably due to a decline in fertility, but it may also be affected by a process of ethnic reworking of recent generations. This indicator does not include imputation of ethnicity in the population not captured by the corresponding questions (for example, children under 5 years of age in the 2000 Mexican census, or children under 3 years of age in the 2010 census). Regarding the processing of census data, the following considerations must be made: Mexico (2000 and 2010) and Panama (2000 and 2010): The population with unknown age is excluded from the totals and/or percentages calculated from them. Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (2001), Brazil (2000 and 2010), Colombia (2005 and 2018), Costa Rica (2000 and 2011), Mexico (2000 and 2010), Nicaragua (2005), Peru (2017), Uruguay (2011) and Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) (2001 and 2011): The population with unknown ethnic-racial condition does not appear in the population totals neither in the percentages calculated from them. Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (2001) and Mexico (2000 and 2010): The data correspond to the population residing in occupied private households. Brazil (2010), Costa Rica (2000 and 2011), Paraguay (2002) and Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of ) (2001 and 2011): These countries have indigenous censuses (of territories or communities), carried out in parallel with the general census. The databases used constitute an integration of the information captured in both when it is possible. Brazil (2000 and 2010) and Mexico (2000 and 2010): The databases used correspond to samples. In Brazil, the expanded figures are rounded. Argentina (2010), Panama (2010), Uruguay (2011) and Mexico (2020): Ethnic-racial identification is carried out in a combined manner (indigenous and Afro-descendant). In these countries, the relative measures are calculated by assigning these people to the ethnic-racial category with the fewest cases. The definition of urban was established according to the criteria provided by each country.

We examined the relationship between continental-level genetic ancestry and racial and ethnic identity in an admixed population in New Mexico with the goal of increasing our understanding of how racial and ethnic identity influence genetic substructure in admixed populations. Our sample consists of 98 New Mexicans who self-identified as Hispanic or Latino (NM-HL) and who further categorized themselves by race and ethnic subgroup membership. The genetic data consist of 270 newly-published autosomal microsatellites from the NM-HL sample and previously published data from 57 globally distributed populations, including 13 admixed samples from Central and South America. For these data, we 1) summarized the major axes of genetic variation using principal component analyses, 2) performed tests of Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 3) compared empirical genetic ancestry distributions to those predicted under a model of admixture that lacked substructure, 4) tested the hypotheses that individuals in each sample had 100%, 0%, and the sample-mean percentage of African, European, and Native American ancestry. We found that most NM-HL identify themselves and their parents as belonging to one of two groups, conforming to a region-specific narrative that distinguishes recent immigrants from Mexico from individuals whose families have resided in New Mexico for generations and who emphasize their Spanish heritage. The “Spanish” group had significantly lower Native American ancestry and higher European ancestry than the “Mexican” group. Positive FIS values, PCA plots, and heterogeneous ancestry distributions suggest that most Central and South America admixed samples also contain substructure, and that this substructure may be related to variation in social identity. Genetic substructure appears to be common in admixed populations in the Americas and may confound attempts to identify disease-causing genes and to understand the social causes of variation in health outcomes and social inequality.
