Método
ENIGH 2024 average household monetary current spending was 47,674 MXN/quarter ≈ 15,891 MXN/month across an average 3.4-person household. Removing housing rent, and taking the categories a single person still bears in full (food, utilities, transport, communications, personal care, leisure) at single-person rather than strict per-capita levels, gives ≈ 13,700 MXN/month for one person excluding rent. Converted at 17.559 MXN/USD (ECB EUR 20.0153 / USD 1.1399, 2026-07-02) ≈ $780/month. National average; Mexico City runs higher, smaller cities lower. See cost-breakdown for the itemised basket.

Inmuebles24 — CDMX rental market index 2026 (via Inmobiliare/hey), national estimate

4 jul 2026
Método
Inmuebles24 reports a CDMX average asking rent of ≈21,398 MXN/month in 2026, but that basket skews to 2–3-bedroom 65 m²+ units; a 1-bedroom in Mexico City averages roughly 15,000–18,000 MXN. As a national 1-bedroom average across Mexican cities (Mexico City is the most expensive; Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Mérida are markedly cheaper), ≈12,300 MXN/month ≈ $700 at 17.559 MXN/USD is a conservative country-level figure. To be refined per-city; Mexico City's own figure will be recorded on the city page.
Notas
No official national 1-bedroom rent index exists; Mexican statistics offices publish a rent CPI, not price levels. This is a curated cross-city estimate anchored on Inmuebles24 market data and should be treated as approximate.

Mexican gastos médicos mayores insurers (GNP, AXA, Allianz, Mapfre) — market midpoint; insurers quote on request

Verificado
4 jul 2026
Método
Comprehensive 'gastos médicos mayores' plans (major-medical: hospitalisation, surgery, plus outpatient riders) from GNP, AXA México, Allianz and Mapfre run roughly $120–190 USD/month for a healthy adult under 35 → ≈$1,440–$2,280/year. Midpoint ≈ $1,800/year. Premiums are quoted individually (age, deductible, hospital network), so this is a curated market midpoint, not a public engine quote. Mexican medical inflation is high (est. ~15% for 2026), pushing premiums up 20–40% year on year.
Notas
Comprehensive (with-inpatient) basis per the data-quality lesson. Residents also have free access to public IMSS-Bienestar/IMSS care, but private cover is the norm for expats/freelancers who want private-hospital access. Deductibles and coinsurance apply on top of the premium.
