The following table presents a listing of Mexico's 32 federal states, ranked in order of their Human Development Index, as reported by the United Nations Development Programme with data from 1990 to 2017.[1] In 2019, only Mexico City and five states – specifically, the five highest on the chart below – had very high human development. The remaining states, aside from Chiapas, all had high human development. Between 2019 and 2021, the five highest states, but not Mexico City, all dropped below the 0.800 threshold, while three other states near the bottom dropped below 0.700.
