Rural migration into the cities due to an ongoing industrialization qualifies as such.

Most lower class neighborhoods found in Mexico City are inhabited by first and second generation immigrants who left rural Mexico for greater economic opportunities in the city. Most of them are former peasants who barely finished primary school (grades 1-6). As such, most of them barely qualify for labor-intensive and menial jobs, which more often than not, have a very low pay (some US$1,200 per year).

Now, most wealthy neighborhoods are inhabited by families of former land owners, as well as industrialists and businessmen who migrated to Mexico City since the 19th century. After the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) and the Mexican Economic Miracle (1930-1970) it also included politicians and their associates, who became the "new rich".
