INEGI reports forced displacement in 2.4% of households in Morelos

The 2025 Intercensal Survey conducted by Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reveals, for the first time, official data specifically on internal forced displacement in Mexico, highlighting that the state of Morelos is among the most affected. This statistical innovation marks a crucial advance by integrating variables related to insecurity and disasters as direct causes of internal migration, enabling a clearer assessment of the true scale of a phenomenon that was previously tracked only indirectly. The analysis shows that criminal violence is the predominant cause nationwide, although there are significant regional variations, such as the greater impact of natural disasters in Guerrero. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of internal humanitarian crises and underscore the need to disaggregate causes in order to better understand local displacement dynamics and their differentiated social impacts. This information is vital for open data initiatives because it transforms a complex social reality into structured, publicly accessible data. By providing precise statistics, it enables civil society, academics, and international organizations to monitor the effectiveness of public policies, demand accountability, and propose evidence-based solutions for protecting human rights in contexts of violence and risk.
