  "account": "According to the 2025 Intercensal Survey conducted by Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), Mexico is home to nearly 1.2 million foreign-born residents, representing just 0.9% of the country's total population of 130.91 million in 2025. This number has seen only a slight increase of 147 people (0.01%) since the 2020 census.\n\nForeign-born residents account for a diverse range of nationalities. The United States remains the largest source of Mexico's foreign-born population, with 668,658 residents born there, accounting for 57.1% of the foreign-born population. This is followed by Venezuela (75,826 residents, 6.5%), Cuba (61,663 residents, 5.3%), Guatemala (54,680 residents, 4.7%), and a total of 309,203 residents born in countries outside of the United States, making up 26.4% of the foreign-born population.\n\nAmong the states in Mexico, Baja California and Mexico City (CDMX) host the largest concentrations of foreign-born residents, each with over 100,000. Seven other states have foreign-born populations exceeding 50,000: Chihuahua, Jalisco, Chiapas, México State, Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, and Quintana Roo. Smaller states like Tlaxcala have the lowest foreign-born populations, with just 3,758 residents born abroad.",
