Some ethnic groups including this classification are the Nahuatl, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, Otomi and Totonac.There is also a percentage of Mexicans of white Europeanancestry, representing 9 to 17% of the population (10 up to 19 million in 2010).

Which group in Mexico City enjoys the highest standard of living?
Difficult to say. Traditionally, criollos or white people born in Mexico from European descent enjoyed the highest standard of living, but this changed since the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1921).Ethnic distinctions no longer apply, as many non-whites have important positions in power and industry. For example, Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, is a Mexican of Lebanese origin; the Jewish community in Mexico City is also regarded as one of the most prosperous, but many people from this community are considered to be on the middle-class.Unfortunately, it is quite easy to know which group suffers the lowest standard of living, not only in Mexico City but in the nation of Mexico as a whole: most indigenous people of Native American descent are regarded as the most destitute of them all.
