Boroughs of Mexico City

Boroughs (Spanish: demarcaciones territoriales) are the subdivisions of Mexico City, the capital city and a federative entity of Mexico.

The traditional center of Mexico City comprises four boroughs: Benito Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, and Venustiano Carranza.

[2] According to the 2020 Mexican census, it is the second most populated entity with 9,209,944 inhabitants and the smallest by land area, spanning 1,494.3 square kilometres (577.0 sq mi).

As a result of the political reforms enacted in 2016, it is no longer designated as a federal district and became a city, a member entity of the Mexican federation, the seat of the Powers of the Union, and the capital of Mexico.

[4] The most recent boroughs are Benito Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, and Venustiano Carranza, all established in 1970 out of the former circumscription of Mexico City.
