The statistic depicts the ten largest cities in Mexico in 2020. In 2020, Mexico City had around 8.84 million residents which made it the largest city in Mexico.

Population of Mexico

Mexico is a federal republic located in North America, sharing borders with the United States to the north, and to the southeast with Guatemala and Belize. With a total area of over 1.9 million square kilometers, it is the fourteenth largest nation in the world and the fifth largest in the Americas.

In 2014, Mexico’s total population amounted to approximately 120 million people. A little under two thirds of Mexico’s total population is of Mestizo ethnicity. The total population has steadily grown over the past decade, despite being the source to the largest migration flow between countries in the world; in 2010, around 11.6 million immigrants from Mexico lived in the United States. The migration flow between the United States and Mexico has however, decreased over the past ten years: Between 1995 and 2000, over 2.9 million migrants emigrated from Mexico to the United States. This was more than the double of migrants who emigrated from Mexico to the United States between 2005 and 2010. Each year, Mexico's population grows by about 1.24 percent compared to the previous year. Mexico City, the country’s capital and largest city, is home to approximately 8.6 million people.

In 2025, approximately 23 million people lived in the São Paulo metropolitan area, making it the biggest in Latin America and the Caribbean and the sixth most populated in the world. The homonymous state of São Paulo was also the most populous federal entity in the country. The second place for the region was Mexico City with 22.75 million inhabitants. Brazil's cities Brazil is home to two large metropolises, only counting the population within the city limits, São Paulo had approximately 11.45 million inhabitants, and Rio de Janeiro around 6.21 million inhabitants. It also contains a number of smaller, but well known cities such as Brasília, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and many others, which report between 2 and 3 million inhabitants each. As a result, the country's population is primarily urban, with nearly 88 percent of inhabitants living in cities. Mexico City Mexico City's metropolitan area ranks sevenths in the ranking of most populated cities in the world. Founded over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in 1521 after the Spanish conquest as the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, the city still stands as one of the most important in Latin America. Nevertheless, the preeminent economic, political, and cultural position of Mexico City has not prevented the metropolis from suffering the problems affecting the rest of the country, namely, inequality and violence. Only in 2023, the city registered a crime incidence of 52,723 reported cases for every 100,000 inhabitants and around 24 percent of the population lived under the poverty line.

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.

Abstract

Microenterprise sectors are a dominant feature in urban areas of low- and middle-income countries. As much as a third of the labor force in these economies is self-employed. Those involved in retail trade—street vendors and owners of small shops and restaurants—are a plurality of small scale enterprises. These vendors earn their living using their own labor and small amounts of capital. They generally lack access to loans from formal financial institutions, relying on their own savings and perhaps informal loans from family members or friends. Surveys indicate that the lack of access to finance is one of their most often mentioned complaints.

This study uses data from the Mexican National Survey of Microenterprises (ENAMIN) to estimate returns to capital. A randomized experiment was designed to generate data which allow a consistent measure of returns to capital in microenterprises. Data was collected from a panel of microenterprises in the city of Leon, in Mexico over a period of five quarters. The baseline survey was carried out in November 2005. After the first through fourth rounds of the survey, treatments were administered in the form of either cash or equipment to randomly selected enterprises in the sample. The treatments generate shocks to capital stock which are random, uncorrelated with either the ability of the enterprise owner or the prospects for the business.

An unbiased estimate of returns to capital has important policy implications in several areas. First, the returns from investment determine the interest rates which borrowers are willing to pay to microlending organizations. Higher returns imply a higher likelihood of developing financially sustainable microlenders. Second, if returns are low below some investment threshold, then these low returns may act as an entry barrier, preventing high ability entrepreneurs without access to capital from entering. If, on the other hand, returns to capital are high at very low levels of investment, then capital-constrained entrepreneurs should be able to enter and grow to a desired size by reinvesting profits earned in the enterprise. In that case, capital constraints will have short term costs, but fewer long term effects on outcomes. High returns at low very low capital stock levels suggest that credit constraints will not lead to poverty traps.

Geographic coverage

Leon, Mexico. Leon is the fifth largest city in Mexico, with a metropolitan area population of approximately 1.4 million. The city is the center of Mexico's shoe and leather industries, and is also home to an active microenterprise sector.

Analysis unit

• Microenterprise

Universe

The research team set out to select a sample of enterprises with less than 100,000 pesos (approximately US$1000) in capital stock, excluding land and buildings. The sample was limited to enterprises engaged in retail trade and owned by males aged 22-55. In order to cover only full-time work, the owners were required to be working 35 hours or more a week in the baseline period.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample frame was based on the 10% public use sample of the 2000 population census for the city of Leon. Data was examined at the level of the smallest geographical unit available in the public sample, the UPM (unidad primaria de muestreo). For each UPM, the research team calculated for males 22-55 years of age the average education level and the percentage self-employed in the retail sector. They also calculated the percentage of households in the UPM with a male household head present. Using these data, 20 UPMS were selected with high rates of retail self employment and modest average levels of education.

The screening survey identified enterprises owned by males 22-55 years of age in the retail sector, operating without paid employees. Enterprises with paid employees are very likely to exceed our upper limit of 100,000 pesos of capital stock, so the lack of paid employees was used as an initial screen for capital stock. Where the screening survey was administered to the owners, we also asked for the value of the capital stock excluding land and buildings, measured at replacement cost.

The sample is limited to males aged 22-55 operating in the retail sector. The average enterprise has been operating for just over five years. Only 20 percent of the enterprises were started within a year of the baseline survey. Almost 20 percent are at least ten years old. Sales average 5,700 pesos per month, and profits 3,486 pesos per month. The median levels of sales and profits are similar, 5,000 and 3,000 pesos per month, respectively. We asked owners for profits before accounting for any compensation for their own time, so the profit levels should be viewed as including the opportunity cost of the time spent in the enterprise by the owner. As a result of this, profits are never reported as being negative.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The study employed several questionnaires that are explained below. - Survey screen: the screening questionnaire used to determine eligibility for the study - Survey baseline: the baseline survey of enterprises - Household Survey round 1: the baseline survey of households attached to the enterprise - Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, Round 5 surveys: follow-up surveys of enterprises - Round 5 household survey: follow-up survey of the household - Digit span recall showcard: showcard of digits used for digitspan recall test

The survey instrument was modeled after the Mexican National Survey of Microenterprises (ENAMIN) survey. In the first round, detailed information was gathered on the capital invested in the enterprise, separated into tools, machinery and equipment, vehicles, real estate and buildings, and inventories and finished and unfinished goods. Operational data was also gathered on the firm--revenues, expenses and profits-for the preceding month, and personal information about the owner. In each subsequent survey, firms were asked about changes in capital stock, either purchase of new assets or sales of existing assets, and operational data for another month of the survey.

The services sector employed the largest share of workers in Mexico City as of the second quarter of 2024, with ***** percent. The commerce industry ranked second, with about ** percent of employed population in the country's capital working in this sector.
