Understanding Mexico's Population

Mexico is the 11th most populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 128,900,000 people as of today. This figure is an estimate — it starts from the most recent official count and advances second by second using Mexico's annual growth rate of 0.68%.

The population is growing steadily. At the current rate, Mexico adds or loses roughly 2,401 people per day. With a land area of 1,000,000 km², it is densely populated (129 people per km²).

The "Births Today" and "Deaths Today" figures are estimates based on annualized rates prorated to the time elapsed since midnight. The age and gender distribution reflects the most recent demographic profile available. For how these figures are computed, see our Methodology page.
