Marginalization index by state, Mexico

Name: Marginalization index by state, Mexico (Mexico)
Creator: CONAPO, Índice de marginación por entidad federativa 2020
License: https://www.inegi.org.mx/inegi/terminos.html

CONAPO's 2020 marginalization index (índice de marginación) for each state, its grade (very low to very high) and national rank (1 = most marginalized), with the nine census-based indicators behind it: illiteracy, adults without basic education, homes without drainage, electricity or piped water, dirt floors, overcrowding, people in small localities and workers earning less than two minimum wages. Estimated by CONAPO from INEGI's 2020 Census. CONAPO's 2020 index is a distance measure on which a lower value means more marginalization (Guerrero, Chiapas and Oaxaca have the lowest values); rank and grade are as published. Index values are rounded to three decimals; there is no national index value.
