This paper presents MuniMex 1.0, a basic and simple free software interface for selection and export of socio-demographic data of Mexican municipalities. MuniMex is aimed at facilitating scholars, government officials and company managers the usage of census municipal data for research, policy making and planning. Its database has been created using data from the 2010 Mexican census on population and housing, which are collected by the Mexican Institute on Statistics and Geography (INEGI). The original census data are construed by 191 variables corresponding to 2,456 municipalities. A collection of percentage variables have been computed from absolute frequency variables and are incorporated into the MuniMex database to offer the possibility to create analyses and models on a normalized basis. All these data can then be exported to Excel or CSV files to be exploited by using statistical or machine-learning tools. |
