Intentional homicides in the State of Mexico have fallen by 58% over the past 21 months, according to data highlighted by the federal government.
The decline underscores the impact of coordinated security strategies implemented across the region, which is the most populous state in Mexico.
This development follows similar positive trends reported in other regions, including a 37% drop in homicides in Michoacán over the past year.
The results are attributed to the Peace Construction Coordination Tables, a multi-level governance framework led by Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez.
These tables facilitate collaboration between federal, state, and municipal authorities to address security challenges through unified policy and operational alignment.

The broader reduction in violent crime across key Mexican states suggests that localized security initiatives are gaining traction, potentially reducing the risk premium associated with operating in these areas.
