Overview
- Fieldwork runs from October 6 to November 14 with about 63,000 staff, including 44,501 interviewers visiting roughly 7 million homes across 2,478 municipalities.
- INEGI says interviewers wear beige uniforms and carry photo IDs with QR codes for real‑time verification, and they will not enter homes with escorts from the National Guard, police or the Army.
- Teams may be deployed in higher‑risk areas under defined security protocols, and responses are collected on smartphone‑sized devices during brief, face‑to‑face interviews.
- The questionnaire can include up to 101 items on housing conditions, services, goods, cooking and waste practices, migration and displacement, fertility, mortality, education, health and household composition.
- Results are scheduled for publication in September 2026, with local rollouts underway such as Michoacán’s full municipal coverage and Baja California’s sampled visits; some outlets also report a legal duty to cooperate.
