Overview
- A new Fundación Tejido Urbano report based on the national household survey shows owners fell from 67.3% in 2016 to 61.9% in 2025, while renters rose to 20.5%.
- Access to piped water and sewers edged up, yet gas via the network dropped from 71.4% to 65%, lifting the share missing at least one basic service to 47.3%.
- Paid medical coverage declined from 68.8% to 65.4%, and the state health system’s user base increased by 1.8 million people to 10.3 million.
- The study quantifies the gaps, counting about 3.57 million households without network gas and 4.83 million lacking at least one of three core utilities: safe water, sewerage, or gas.
- Some indicators improved, with school attendance for ages 4 to 17 rising to 97.8%, critical overcrowding easing to 1.9%, and fewer homes near dumps or flood zones partly due to recent drought.
