In 2022, it was reported that ten percent of the Mexican population with the highest monthly income made, on average, almost 20 times more money than the ten percent of the population with the lowest income. While a person in the highest earning segment of the population (decile X) received approximately 20,339 Mexican pesos per month, a person in the decile with the lowest monthly income (decile I) earned nearly 1,191 pesos.
In that same year, it was estimated that 36 percent of the population in Mexico lived in poverty. Chiapas was the state in Mexico with the highest average poverty rate, with 60 percent of the population in this state classified as living in poverty.
