</ul>Population density is midyear population divided by land area in square kilometers. Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. Land area is a country's total area, excluding area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and exclusive economic zones. In most cases the definition of inland water bodies includes major rivers and lakes.

In 2024, the perception of insecurity in Mexico City stood at approximately 47.49 percent. Between 2011 and 2024, the figure dropped by around 1.09 percentage points, though the decline followed an uneven course rather than a steady trajectory.

The statistic depicts the unemployment rate in Mexico from 1999 to 2023. In 2023, Mexico's unemployment rate was around 2.77 percent. Mexico's population Mexico is the third largest country in North America. Mexico’s economy has developed and improved over the years, partially due to a better relationship with the United States. Mexico’s total population was estimated to amount to around 120 million people in 2014, with the majority, i.e. more than 60 percent, having a Mestizo background. Despite a remarkably high migration flow between Mexico and the United States, with more than 11.5 million Mexican migrants living in the United States, Mexico’s population is still growing at a constant rate. In addition, life expectancy in Mexico is increasing, pointing towards an improvement of living conditions. However, the high total population numbers affect the population density. In 2012, there were more than 62 inhabitants per square kilometer registered, ten more than a decade ago. This trend is most likely to increase but not worriyngly so, since Mexico is still far from being one of the countries with the highest population density . Among the Mexican metropolises, Mexico City has the highest number of residents by far.

From the year 2015 to 2020 there has been an increase in the population density in Guadalajara, Mexico. During the last year, the city had around 9,658 inhabitants per square meter, while five years prior the density was lower than 9,180 inhabitants.

From the year 2015 to 2020, there has been an increase in the population density in the Mexican city of Monterrey starting with 3,414.5 inhabitants per square kilometer and ending with 2020 with 3523.3 inhabitants, an 108.8 increase.

In Mexico, the number of practicing doctors amounted to around 2.56 professionals per 1,000 inhabitants in 2022, an increase compared to the figures reported a year earlier when there were around 2.51 practicing physicians per every thousand people. During the last year depicted, the number of physicians in Mexico totaled approximately 333,000 professionals. Density of doctors worldwide In a global comparison, Mexico ranks in an middle category for density of medical doctors per 1,000 population, similar to Canada and Colombia. Among the countries in the upper bracket for highest density of doctors are Cuba, Sweden, Belgium, and Uruguay. Along with Mexico’s moderate density of doctors, over 39 percent of the population was considered vulnerable due to lack of access to health services in Mexico as of 2022, up from around 21.5 percent a decade earlier. Health care in Mexico Nearly 33 million people in Mexico held public health insurance through Seguro Popular in 2020, which was replaced by a new institution at the beginning of that year, called INSABI (Instituto Nacional de Salud para el Bienestar). However, the IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social) led by a large margin as the largest provider of health insurance in the North American country.

From the year 1994 to 2023, there has been an overall decrease in the number of newborns in the Mexican city of Monterrey. The highest amount was recorded in 2000 with 27,870 births. While the lowest amount recorded was in 2020 with 13,050.

From the year 1995 to 2020, there has been an overall increase in the number of people that speaks an indigenous language in the Mexican city of Monterrey. The highest amount of indigenous language speakers was in the year 2010 with 11,380 speakers. In the contrast the lowest number registered was in the year 1995 with 3,360 people.

As of 2025, Tokyo-Yokohama in Japan was the largest world urban agglomeration, with 37 million people living there. Delhi ranked second with more than 34 million, with Shanghai in third with more than 30 million inhabitants.

This statistic shows the ten largest cities in Italy in 2025. In 2025, around 2.75 million people lived in Rome, making it the largest city in Italy. Population of Italy Italy has high population figures and a high population density in comparison to other European countries. A vast majority of Italians lives in urban areas and in the metropolises (as can be seen in this statistic), while other areas, such as the island Sardinia, are rather sparsely inhabited. After an increase a few years ago, Italy’s fertility rate, i.e. the average amount of children born to a woman of childbearing age, is now on a slow decline; however, it is still high enough to offset any significant effect the decrease might have on the country’s number of inhabitants. The median age of Italy’s population has been increasing rapidly over the past 50 years – which mirrors a lower mortality rate – and Italy is now among the countries with the highest life expectancy worldwide, only surpassed by two Asian countries, namely Japan and Hong Kong. Currently, the average life expectancy at birth in Italy is at about 83 years. Most of Italy’s population is of Roman Catholic faith. The country actually boasts one of the largest numbers of Catholics worldwide; other such countries include Brazil, Mexico and the United States. The central government of the Roman Catholic Church, the Holy See, is located in Vatican City in the heart of Italy’s capital and ruled by the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. Officially, Vatican City does not belong to Italy, but is a sovereign state with its own legislation and jurisdiction. It has about 600 inhabitants, who are almost exclusively members of the clergy or government officials.
