Overview
- A new Fundación Tejido Urbano analysis of national household survey data reports homeownership at 61.9% and renting at 20.5% after a multi‑year slide.
- Access to water and sewers ticked up, yet gas-by-network fell to 65%, which lifted the share of homes missing at least one basic service to 47.3%.
- Paid medical coverage dropped to 65.4%, and the public health system now serves about 10.3 million people, an increase of 1.8 million since 2016.
- School attendance for ages 4 to 17 rose to 97.8%, university completion edged up to 24.8%, and severe overcrowding fell to 1.9% of households.
- Urban deficits remain large, with about 3.57 million households without piped gas and 4.83 million lacking at least one core service, reflecting high property prices and thin mortgage access in big cities.
