The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) reported that the perception of insecurity among the Mexican population aged 18 and older reached its lowest level of the current administration during the second quarter of the year. According to the data, 59.8 percent of adults consider their communities to be unsafe.
President Claudia Sheinbaum acknowledged the trend, noting that while the indicator experienced an initial increase at the start of her term, it has maintained a downward trajectory for the past six months. The president emphasized that reducing public perception of insecurity remains a complex challenge due to the influence of available information.
In a separate report, Inegi also noted a slight increase in the national unemployment rate. The rate of desocupación reached 2.9 percent in June 2026, representing a marginal rise from the 2.8 percent recorded in May.
