Source: INEGI ENIGH 2024 (Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares 2024), Cuadro 6.

The national mean is MXN 311,456/year (MXN 77,864 per quarter); the median is interpolated between Decile V and VI means.

"Middle class" on this page follows the OECD definition from Under Pressure: The Squeezed Middle Class (2019): households earning between 75% and 200% of the national median income, with lower-middle (75-100%), mid (100-150%) and upper-middle (150-200%) rungs. The cut-offs of MXN 178,362 and MXN 475,632 are derived arithmetically from the median shown in the source data; they are not percentile thresholds published by the statistical office.
