There are no real benefits, besides living in lightly-populated areas. In Mexico, rural communities have been traditionally much less advanced than their urban counterparts in terms of quality of life.

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, on a municipality level (akin to U.S. counties), economic contrasts are quite dramatic: the Benito Juarez district (Mexico City), the San Pedro Garza Garcia municipality (Monterrey) and the San Sebastian Tula municipality (Oaxaca) have the highest HDI in Mexico, with the life quality levels of Norway, Australia and Spain.

By contrast, Tehuipango (Veracruz), Coicoyan de las Flores (Oaxaca), Batopilas (Chihuahua) and Cochoapa el Grande (Guerrero), are rural communities which have a quality of life akin to Madagascar, Haiti, Kenya and Benin.
