The dataset tabulates the Mexico town population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Mexico town across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.
Key observations
In 2022, the population of Mexico town was 5,289, a 0.42% increase year-by-year from 2021. Previously, in 2021, Mexico town population was 5,267, an increase of 0.17% compared to a population of 5,258 in 2020. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2022, population of Mexico town increased by 97. In this period, the peak population was 5,349 in the year 2009. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

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.

The Societal Poverty Line is expressed in purchasing power adjusted 2017 U.S. dollars and defined as max($2.15, $1.15 + 0.5*Median). This means that when the national median is sufficiently low, the Societal Poverty line is equivalent to the extreme poverty line, $2.15. For countries with a sufficiently high national median, the Societal Poverty Line grows as countries’ median income grows.;World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform. Data are based on primary household survey data obtained from government statistical agencies and World Bank country departments. Data for high-income economies are mostly from the Luxembourg Income Study database. For more information and methodology, please see http://pip.worldbank.org.;;The World Bank’s internationally comparable poverty monitoring database now draws on income or detailed consumption data from more than 2000 household surveys across 169 countries.

This dataset includes all North American Breeding Bird Survey data collected in Mexico between 2008-2018. These data were used as the basis for all analyses discussed in an associated publication: The North American Breeding Bird Survey in Mexico, 2008-2018 — A Status Report; https:doi.org/10.3133/cir1479. The records include avian point count data for all reported taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). In addition to avian count data, this dataset also contains survey date, survey start and end times, start and end weather conditions, a unique observer identification number, route identification information, and route location information including country, state, and BCR, as well as geographic coordinates of each route's start location. These data were collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in May, June and July, along randomly established roadside survey routes in seven states in northern Mexico (Baja California Sur, Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas). Routes are roughly 24.5 miles (39.2 km) long with counting locations placed at approximately half-mile (800-m) intervals, for a total of 50 stops. A brief summary of the methodology is as follows: At each stop a person highly skilled in avian identification conducts a 3-minute point count, recording every bird seen within a quarter-mile (400-m) radius, or heard at any distance (excluding birds believed to have been recorded at a previous stop). Surveys begin 30 minutes before local sunrise and take approximately 5 hours to complete. Routes are sampled once per year. NOTE: The data in this release include all records reported. They have not been subjected to the rigorous quality control screening that BBS data from the U.S. and Canada receive. Therefore, these data are NOT intended to be lumped with U.S. and Canada data for pooled population analyses.

Abstract (en): The Research on Early Life and Aging Trends and Effects (RELATE) study compiles cross-national data that contain information that can be used to examine the effects of early life conditions on older adult health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, functionality, mortality, and self-reported health. The complete cross sectional/longitudinal dataset (n=147,278) was compiled from major studies of older adults or households across the world that in most instances are representative of the older adult population either nationally, in major urban centers, or in provinces. It includes over 180 variables with information on demographic and geographic variables along with information about early life conditions and life course events for older adults in low, middle and high income countries. Selected variables were harmonized to facilitate cross national comparisons. In this first public release of the RELATE data, a subset of the data (n=88,273) is being released. The subset includes harmonized data of older adults from the following regions of the world: Africa (Ghana and South Africa), Asia (China, India), Latin America (Costa Rica, major cities in Latin America), and the United States (Puerto Rico, Wisconsin). This first release of the data collection is composed of 19 downloadable parts: Part 1 includes the harmonized cross-national RELATE dataset, which harmonizes data from parts 2 through 19. Specifically, parts 2 through 19 include data from Costa Rica (Part 2), Puerto Rico (Part 3), the United States (Wisconsin) (Part 4), Argentina (Part 5), Barbados (Part 6), Brazil (Part 7), Chile (Part 8), Cuba (Part 9), Mexico (Parts 10 and 15), Uruguay (Part 11), China (Parts 12, 18, and 19), Ghana (Part 13), India (Part 14), Russia (Part 16), and South Africa (Part 17). The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) was also used in the compilation of the larger RELATE data set (HRS) (N=12,527), and these data are now available for public release on the HRS data products page. To access the HRS data that are part of the RELATE data set, please see the collection notes below. The purpose of this study was to compile and harmonize cross-national data from both the developing and developed world to allow for the examination of how early life conditions are related to older adult health and well being. The selection of countries for this study was based on their diversity but also on the availability of comprehensive cross sectional/panel survey data for older adults born in the early to mid 20th century in low, middle and high income countries. These data were then utilized to create the harmonized cross-national RELATE data (Part 1). Specifically, data that are being released in this version of the RELATE study come from the following studies: CHNS (China Health and Nutrition Study) CLHLS (Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey) CRELES (Costa Rican Study of Longevity and Healthy Aging) PREHCO (Puerto Rican Elderly: Health Conditions) SABE (Study of Aging Survey on Health and Well Being of Elders) SAGE (WHO Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health) WLS (Wisconsin Longitudinal Study) Note that the countries selected represent a diverse range in national income levels: Barbados and the United States (including Puerto Rico) represent high income countries; Argentina, Cuba, Uruguay, Chile, Costa Rica, Brazil, Mexico, and Russia represent upper middle income countries; China and India represent lower middle income countries; and Ghana represents a low income country. Users should refer to the technical report that accompanies the RELATE data for more detailed information regarding the study design of the surveys used in the construction of the cross-national data. The Research on Early Life and Aging Trends and Effects (RELATE) data includes an array of variables, including basic demographic variables (age, gender, education), variables relating to early life conditions (height, knee height, rural/urban birthplace, childhood health, childhood socioeconomic status), adult socioeconomic status (income, wealth), adult lifestyle (smoking, drinking, exercising, diet), and health outcomes (self-reported health, chronic conditions, difficulty with functionality, obesity, mortality). Not all countries have the same variables. Please refer to the technical report that is part of the documentation for more detail regarding the variables available across countries. Sample weights are applicable to all countries exc...
The MxFLS is the first longitudinal survey in Mexico that follows individuals across rounds, including those who migrate within Mexico or emigrate to the Unites States of America. This allows studying the well-being of the Mexican population, and its transitions over time, as well as the factors that determine those transitions. Given that the MxFLS provides information for individuals who emigrated to the USA, it is possible to study, for the first time, migration dynamics between Mexico and the USA.
A primary goal of the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) is to create a longitudinal and multi-thematic database. The longitudinal design allows a long term tracking of individuals regardless of changes in residence and new household formations (split-offs). And the multi-thematic design allows collecting-with a single tool-a wide range of socioeconomic and demographic indicators of the Mexican population. The first round of the survey (MxFLS-1) took place during 2002 reaching a sample of 8,400 households (35,000 individuals) in 150 urban and rural communities throughout the country. The second (MxFLS-2) and third round (MxFLS-3) were conducted during 2005-2006 and 2009-2012, respectively. Given the longitudinal design of the survey, the MxFLS-2 and MxFLS-3 aimed to relocate and re-interview the sample of the MxFLS-1 including those individuals who migrated within Mexico or emigrated to the Unites States and to interview the individuals or households that grew out from previous samples. The MxFLS-2 and MxFLS-3 relocated and re-interviewed almost 90 percent of the original sampled households.
The MxFLS provides data to analyze the well-being of the Mexican population, and its transitions over time, as well as the factors that determine those transitions.
National coverage
Sample survey data [ssd]
Sampling design The design of the first round, the baseline survey (MxFLS-1), was undertaken by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI, per its name in Spanish). The baseline sample is probabilistic, stratified, multi-staged, and independent at every phase of the study. The population is comprised by Mexican households in 2002. Primary sampling units were selected under criterions of national, urban-rural and regional representation on pre-established demographic and economic variables. Regional definitions are in accordance with the National Development Plan 2000-2006.
Longitudinal design Currently, the MxFLS contains information for a 10-year period, collected in three rounds: 2002 (MxFLS-1), 2005-2006 (MxFLS-2) and 2009-2012 (MxFLS-3). Future rounds have been programmed in order to have a database that allows studying efficiently the well-being of the Mexican population at different moments in time. The first round or baseline survey (MXFLS-1), implemented in 2002, and collected information on a sample of 35,000 individuals from 8,400 households in 150 communities throughout the country. The second (MxFLS-2) and third round (MxFLS-3) were conducted during 2005-2006 and 2009-2012, respectively. Given the longitudinal design of the survey, the MxFLS-2 and MxFLS-3 aimed to relocate and re-interview the sample of the MxFLS-1-including those individuals who migrated within Mexico or emigrated to the United States of America-and to interview the individuals or households that grew out from previous samples. The MxFLS-2 and MxFLS-3 relocated and re-interviewed almost 90 percent of the original sampled households.
Face-to-face [f2f]
The MxFLS-3 follows the content, design and structure of the MxFLS-1. Two questionnaires were used in the 2009-2012 MxFLS-3: Household Questionnaire, and Community Questionnaire.
