Nuevo León and Mexico City stand out in access to private health insurance in Mexico

The data reveal a marked regional disparity in access to health services, with private insurance concentrated in the northern and central regions of the country. This distribution reflects unequal economic opportunities and income levels, creating a significant gap between dynamic urban areas and less developed states, where public coverage predominates. The predominance of social security institutions across most of the territory underscores the vulnerability of large segments of the population. The low penetration of private insurance in more disadvantaged regions highlights structural limitations that affect equity in health and well-being, leaving many families dependent exclusively on public networks whose resources are often overstretched. This analysis is relevant to data science by emphasizing the importance of disaggregating information by socioeconomic and geographic variables. Making these statistics open and accessible enables the identification of inequality patterns hidden in national averages, facilitating more precise public policies. Transparent and accessible handling of these data promotes accountability and informed debate on social justice in Mexico.
