Municipalities (municipios in Spanish) are the second-level administrative divisions of Mexico, where the first-level administrative division is the state (Spanish: estado). They should not be confused with cities or towns that may share the same name as they are distinct entities and do not share geographical boundaries. As of March 2024, there are 2,476 municipalities in Mexico, excluding the 16 boroughs of Mexico City.
Since the 2015 Intercensal Survey, two municipalities have been created in Campeche,[1] three in Chiapas,[2] three in Morelos,[3] one in Quintana Roo[4] and two in Baja California.[5]
The internal political organization and their responsibilities are outlined in the 115th article of the 1917 Constitution[6] and detailed in the constitutions of the states to which they belong. Municipalities are distinct from cities, a form of Mexican locality, and are divided into colonias (neighborhoods); some municipalities can be as large as full states, while cities can be measured in basic geostatistical areas or city blocks.
