The 2015 population survey marked the first time since the 19 th century that the Mexican government included a distinct category for people of Afro-Mexican descent.

Each month the Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública publishes crime information on its website. The crimenmexico website downloads, processes the data, and presents it in an easy to interpret format.

Mexico to be ruled by the PRI for the next three years

The Secretaría de Gobernación just updated the missing persons database ( RNPED ) to include data up to January 2015. The database now contains information on 25,293 missing persons from the fuero común (local government) and 443 from the fuero federal (federal government).

I downloaded data from the Instituto Nacional Electoral to find out which names are the most overrepresented among the three main political parties in Mexico (PRI, PAN, and PRD). As was to be expected —names are markers of class, income, religion, and geographical regions— there are some major differences in which names the members of each political party bear.

I’ve updated the mxmortalitydb package to include 2013 data. This data only package includes all injury intent deaths (accidents, homicides, suicides, and unspecified intent) that were registered in Mexico from 2004 to 2013. You can use the package to calculate changes and trends in homicide rates in the most violent metro areas (or large municipios) or at the national level.
