What the Data Shows
In 2024, 38.5 million people in Mexico were classified as poor under INEGI’s multidimensional measure. Moderate poverty accounted for 31.5 million people, or 81.8% of the total. Extreme poverty accounted for 7.0 million people, or 18.2%. The two categories reconcile exactly to the official poverty count.
