Mexico Launches 2025 Intercensal Survey Reaching One in Five Households

Verified INEGI staff will use mobile questionnaires to refresh national population and housing estimates.

Overview

  • Fieldwork runs October 6 to November 14 across 2,478 municipalities, deploying about 63,000 workers, including 44,501 enumerators.
  • The sample targets roughly 20% of households, or about seven million homes, with interviews lasting around 12 minutes and capped at 101 questions.
  • Topics span housing conditions, waste disposal, household goods, nutrition, technology use, migration and cases of forced displacement.
  • Enumerators wear beige uniforms and carry photo IDs with QR codes for public verification, do not work with armed escorts, and may operate in groups or reschedule visits for safety.
  • Data collection is primarily face to face on smartphone‑sized devices, with some households invited to respond online or by phone, and aggregated results are expected in September 2026.
