Population of Quintana Roo, 2025
Quintana Roo has an estimated population of 2,101,638 people in 2025, compared to 1,857,985 recorded in the 2020 INEGI Census, with a density of 48.2 people/km² across 43,587 km².
Quintana Roo presents a compelling growth narrative within Southeast Mexico, anchored by a 2020 census population of 1,857,985 that expanded by a remarkable 40.2% over the preceding decade. This rapid demographic expansion supports a highly active labor force of 1.04 million workers, operating under a tight unemployment rate of 2.63% and an average monthly salary of 9.21k MXN. While historically defined by hospitality, the region's productive profile exhibits targeted industrial sophistication, led by US$264M in precious metal jewelry exports, US$232M in thermally treated equipment, and US$139M in processed food products.
From an institutional real estate perspective, market liquidity and spatial demand converge across three primary commercial municipalities: Benito Juárez, Cozumel, and Othón P. Blanco. These urban centers act as strategic nodes for mixed-use investments, last-mile logistics, and premium commercial assets designed to capture intense consumer flow. Despite unrecorded baseline FDI figures, the structural combination of extraordinary demographic growth, high employment participation, and evolving trade specialization positions Quintana Roo as a prime market for long-term real estate allocation.
