The persistence of property dispossession targeting vulnerable elderly populations in Mexico City highlights a critical gap in legal protection and social security. This phenomenon, which predominantly affects women, exploits legal loopholes and financial limitations, leaving victims defenseless against tenants who seize ownership through prolonged possession rather than legitimate transfer. Open data from the Attorney General’s office reveals a consistent and alarming volume of investigations across specific boroughs, confirming the systemic nature of this crime. The recurrence of these cases underscores the urgent need for transparent, accessible public records that allow citizens and advocates to monitor enforcement trends and identify geographic hotspots for targeted intervention. This article is relevant to open data as it demonstrates how publicly available statistics can expose structural vulnerabilities and justify legislative reform. By making investigation volumes accessible, transparency empowers civil society to demand accountability, pushing for harsher penalties and better support systems for those most at risk of economic and social exclusion.
