The statistic depicts the median age in Mexico from 1950 to 2100. The median age of a population is an index that divides the population into two equal groups: half of the population is older than the median age and the other half younger. In 2020, the median age of Mexico's population was 27.9 years.

The population of Mexico City has been experiencing a deep process of ageing during the last decades. In 2020, the median age of its inhabitants was 35 years, ten years more than in 1995.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents the distribution of median household income among distinct age brackets of householders in Mexico. Based on the latest 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates from the American Community Survey, it displays how income varies among householders of different ages in Mexico. It showcases how household incomes typically rise as the head of the household gets older. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into age-based household income trends and explore the variations in incomes across households.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

In terms of income distribution across age cohorts, in Mexico, householders within the 45 to 64 years age group have the highest median household income at $54,986, followed by those in the 25 to 44 years age group with an income of $50,057. Meanwhile householders within the 65 years and over age group report the second lowest median household income of $40,956. Notably, householders within the under 25 years age group, had the lowest median household income at $38,944.

This dataset is about countries per year in Mexico. It has 1 row and is filtered where the date is 2021. It features 4 columns: country, rural population, and median age.

The statistic depicts the total population of Mexico from 2020 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2020, Mexico's total population amounted to about 128.21 million people. Total population of Mexico The total population of Mexico was expected to reach 116.02 million people by the end of 2013. Despite being the source of one of the largest migration flows in the world, Mexico has managed to maintain around a 1.25 percent population growth rate for the last several years, roughly the same growth rate as India. Among the largest cities in Mexico, Mexico City is leading with more than 8.5 million inhabitants. A slowly declining fertility rate still holds above the replacement rate, and life expectancy is growing, expanding the population from both ends of the age spectrum. With the rising life expectancy, the median age of Mexican residents has also increased, and an increasing stream of immigrants from the financially-troubled Spain has also boosted population numbers. The majority of the Mexican population is Roman Catholic, owing to its colonial Spanish background. Spanish is the predominant language, with several regional and local dialects spoken, but a number of indigenous languages, such as Nahuatl, survive and are also spoken around Mexico. One worrying and relatively recent trend in Mexico is the growing share of the population becoming overweight or obese. It is not entirely clear what sort of effect the obesity epidemic is going to have on Mexican population numbers in the long run, but is starting to manifest itself not just in physical appearance, but in the increased rates of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. In fact, diabetes was one of the top causes of deaths for Mexicans in recent years.

The median age in Mexico City was approximately ** years in 2020. In a steady upward trend, the median age rose by about ** years from 1995.

The male median age in Mexico increased by three years (+12 percent) in 2020 in comparison to the previous observation. With 28 years, the median age thereby reached its highest value in the observed period. Notably, the median age continuously increased over the last years.
