Why is Mexico densely populated?

Answer 1

It isn't. Compared to other countries, it has a "standard" population density. With 54.9 people/sq km (142.3 people/sq mi), Mexico pales against countries such as South Korea (486.8 people/sq km or 1,260.8 people/sq mi) or Bangladesh (1,126.6 people/sq km or 2,917.8 people/sq mi).

To put it on perspective, the US territory has five times the size of Mexico, but only three times the size of its population. That is why you think of it as "overpopulated".

Answer 2

Mexico City's population density is 5,967 people per square kilometer (15,454 people per sq mi).

The reason is Mexican people don't rely on cars as much as Americans do for modes of transportation. This has allowed less urban sprawl, as the city has had more cohesion between urban areas and neighborhoods. As a result, Mexico City has 22 million inhabitants living on an area less than half the size of New York City.

Answer 3

Because Mexico is one of the largest countries in the Americas (5th) and during the Green Revolution of 1945, Mexico achieved food self-sufficiency due to improved crop quality, specially for maize and wheat. Also, during the second half of the 20th century, much improvements in health (specifically children vaccinations, which became universal) allowed for a demographic explosion that lasted until early 1990's

Right now Mexico is entering the "transition" phase, where population growth is slowly halting and most population is reaching the 25-35 years old threshold.
