Overview
- Evalúa’s 2024 Integrated Poverty Measurement reports 850,000 people left poverty between 2018 and 2024, with extreme poverty falling from 19% to 9% and income poverty from 48% to 37%.
- Time scarcity emerges as the most prevalent deprivation, with 57% of residents classified as facing 'time poverty' under the city’s methodology.
- The study indicates reduced inequality, with the top 10% share of income dropping from 60% to 53% and a seven-point improvement in the Gini index.
- City leaders link gains to policies such as the Public Care System, Cablebús expansion and electrified transit, and they plan daytime care centers for people experiencing homelessness.
- Clara Brugada framed the results as continuity with the 4T agenda, noting 2 million residents now receive city social support, 700,000 of them added this year, and naming Pablo Yanes and Pedro Moctezuma to cabinet posts.
