The Human Development Index (HDI) is a ranking created by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to measure countries or regions according to three basic population parameters: health, education and income. For Mexico, which has 31 states and one federal district, the lowest belong to Oaxaca (0.681), Guerrero (0.679) and Chiapas (0.667). For comparison purposes, their indexes correspond to those of the Philippines, Bolivia and South Africa, respectively -- Mexico's overall index is 0.762, akin to Lebanon or Azerbaijan.
The southern states of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas are the poorest, least developed in Mexico.

Northern States
Southern States
While northern states have incomes equivalent to those of European countries like Russia, Estonia or Poland, southern states have much lower incomes, like those of less-developed countries like Belize, Tunisia and Swaziland.

I guess you mean "state". That would be Chiapas, bordering the country of Guatemala, with an estimated GDP per capita of only US$6378, equivalent to that of Angola or Egypt.
The poorest state in Mexico would be Chiapas, with a GDP per capita of only US$3657. That would put Chiapas on par to countries such as El Salvador or Morocco.
Southern Mexico is the poorest, with regions having the same education, income and quality of life of places such as Haiti or Madagascar.
Metlatonoc (17° 12' N, 98° 24' W) in the southern state of Guerrero, is the poorest city in Mexico, with the same life quality of Malawi (a poor, hunger-striken African nation).

Southern Mexico is the poorest, least developed region in Mexico. As such, most of its industries are of extractive or agroindustrial nature, such as mining, fishing and food processing. Specific areas such as the larger cities (Chilpancingo, Oaxaca, Tuxtla Gutierrez) have light manufacturing such as clothing, shoes and furniture.
