Mexico City is divided
Mexico City is not organized into municipalities. Despite containing the word "City", it is not governed as a city but as a unit consisting of multiple subdivisions. As a result of the Political Reforms enacted in 2016, it is no longer designated as a federal district and became a city, a member entity of the Mexican federation, seat of the Powers of the Union and the capital of Mexico.<ref name="cdmx">{{cite web|url=https://data.consejeria.cdmx.gob.mx/images/leyes/estatutos/Constitucion_Politica_de_la_Ciudad_de_Mexico_3.pdf|title=Constitution of Mexico City|language=es|publisher=Gobierno de la Ciudad de México|access-date=2021-02-08}}</ref>▼

▲Mexico City is divided in 16 [[borough|boroughs]], officially designated as ''demarcaciones territoriales'' or colloquially known as ''alcaldías'' in Spanish. Headed by a mayor, these boroughs kept the same territory and name as the former ''delegaciones'', while expanding their local government powers.<ref name="cdmx" /> Boroughs are considered as third-level subdivisions for statistical data collection and cross-country comparisons.
The largest borough by population is [[Iztapalapa]], with 1,835,486 residents, while the smallest is [[Milpa Alta]] with 152,685 residents. [[Iztacalco]] is the most densely populated subdivision in Mexico.<ref name="census2020" /> The largest borough by land area is [[Tlalpan]] which spans {{convert|314.5|km2|sqmi|adj=ri2|2|abbr=on}}, and the smallest is [[Iztacalco]] with {{convert|23.1|km2|sqmi|adj=ri2|2|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Landarea />
