Migration to the United States by state, Mexico CONAPO's 2020 index of migration intensity between Mexico and the United States: the share of households that receive remittances, that had a member emigrate to the U.S. between 2015 and 2020, that have circular migrants (who went and came back in that period) or return migrants (back from the U.S. after living there in 2015), the index itself, its grade and its national rank (1 = highest intensity). Estimated by CONAPO from INEGI's 2020 Census (extended questionnaire). On this index a lower value means higher migration intensity. Household shares are as published, rounded to two decimals.
